I would hereby like to claim name creation rights for the musical genre known as “nickelrock”. Nickelrock, whose foremost member is Nickelback, is characterized by crunchy guitars and cheesy sap lyrics. If you hear a song and it sounds like Nickelback, it’s nickelrock. Synonyms for this genre are “shite” and “christ is that Nickelback on the radio again?”

A Nickelrock-free zone may be found at the CBC Radio 3 website (http://radio3.cbc.ca), and via live stream at

Ah true! Their weekly podcast is also a fine source of nickelrock-free music. I need to subscribe to it again…

Oh, that provoked a snort out loud. I knew exactly what you meant the first time you used the term.
Righteous.
Very righteous indeed.

This reminds me of my friend Mike’s observation that there was really only one popular band in the mid-90s: just about every song on the radio was by the Pearlgarden Pilots.

We call it “Theory of a NickelFault”, to cover all of Chad Kroeger’s dreadful spin-offs.
