Nickelback, "How You Remind Me" & The Slow Death of Grunge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lay02M__u74
What to say about Nickelback? To say that they are terrible is played out, so very predictable. To say that they are secret geniuses of post-grunge balladry isn’t quite right either. But whatever you may think, their first single off Silver Side Up will always endure. It is the definitive sound of radio for the early 2000s. A nuevo classic rock standard shot through the lens of grunge. 220 seconds of candied hooks, unshakeable melody, and surprisingly crunchy guitars. However forces beyond their control coalesced to make sure that Nickelback became inescapable. This is how “How You Remind Me” happened.share
