Avril Lavigne Tells Nickelback Haters to 'Grow Up,' Has a Pretty Good Pointwww.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7370489/avril-lavigne-nickelback-haters-grow-up-salesNickelback may be one of the world's favorite bands to hate, but Avril Lavigne is not onboard. On Thursday, the pop star took to Twitter to voice her disappointment in the press and public for shaming her husband Chad Kroeger's group. Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger Still Writing Music Together Post-Separation Responding to an E! Online story reporting "People Actually Dislike One Thing More Than" Nickelback (in this instance it's Donald Trump, by the way), Lavigne told the entertainment news outlet and anyone else cracking similar jokes to "grow up." Lavigne and Kroeger separated in September last year, but the two have recently been seen together, igniting rumors of a romance rekindled. The "Sk8er Boi" singer continued, lauding Nickelback's successes, which are pretty compelling. While Lavigne counts 17 No. 1 hits for the band, Nickelback has actually had 25 No. 1 hits total, counting all of Billboard's U.S. and Canadian song and album charts. On Billboard's coveted Hot 100 chart, Nickelback has notched 19 entires, six of which have hit the top 10 -- including the No. 1 "How You Remind Me," which topped the 2002 year-end Hot 100. The band has charted nine albums on the Billboard 200, six of which have hit the top 10, including the 2005 No. 1 All the Right Reasons. Among its No. 1 sum, the act has also scored an impressive eight leaders on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart. Nickelback has sold 24 million albums in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. And according to a 2011 story -- when the band was again defending itself against haters -- the group's label reported it had then sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. So, maybe Lavigne has a point. Is Nickelback actually good?

Why do people hate Nickelback so much anyways? Did Chad Kroeger kill a puppy or something? Or is it "cool" to hate them? I never understood the hate. They're not really my kind of music, but comparing them to Trump is maybe a bit too much. But do they like Trump Tower taco bowls?

Nickelback did rockstar a while back that was a song about singing about being a rockstar. This is the only song I know of theirs and it's about fantasising about being a rockstar.

Perfectly sensible reasons for not liking Nickelback got hijacked by people who just love to hate things. It's all so dated either way. People were hating Nickelback in like 2002 ffs, and they're still going on about it.

I do think some of their music is just downright bad, but not all of it. People mainly hate them just because it's trendy to hate them. Like it's trendy to hate Bieber. People just see what's trendy and jump on the bandwagon.

But the hatred towards Bieber is a lot more than being "trendy", considering his many incidents...

People just see what's trendy and jump on the bandwagon. I the start of hate probably due to one top-chart lame song. Dor JB, sure its "Baby" . Then one hate become trend, people get into just to have common topic and others should be jealous

Yes, I attended the tour in person and was there when Chad came out to sing with Avril and he was hugging her and stuff during the whole song. Who knows, it could have been all for show to shut up the gossip, but to me it seemed like they were genuinely in love at that time. I do think some of their music is just downright bad, but not all of it. People mainly hate them just because it's trendy to hate them. Like it's trendy to hate Bieber. People just see what's trendy and jump on the bandwagon.

Yes there's legit reasons to hate JB just like there's legit reasons to hate Nickelback, but I think a lot of people hate him just because it is "cool" to do so, aside from the real reasons to dislike him. Yes he's a brat but musically speaking I don't think he's that bad. He can sing. I bet most of the people who claim to hate him have never really listened to his music to form their own opinion. They just jump on the bandwagon and say "Oh he sucks" just because little girls like him instead of thinking for themselves and forming their own opinion.

Avril tells people to grow up? Well, that's ironic.
