I don't like Nickelback but I also don't make fun of them. Their music is just so boring to me that I can't even irrationally hate it. They don't conjure up emotions of any kind for me.
The reason why they get picked on so much is that their songs are incredibly generic, so for a rock band that was so hyped up years ago people expected something more I guess. Their songs all sound the same to me and there's really nothing that makes them stand out or provoke discussion, which is probably why when people need to name "the worst rock band" they choose Nickleback because 99% of people aren't going to bother defending them even if they don't get angry over their music.
