    The hate is because they were the most visible “post grunge” Pearl Jam wannabe band, not that they were particularly awful among their peers. It’s hard to exaggerate just how obnoxious alternative radio became in the late 90s when legitimately 75% of the plays were these manufactured poser bands. It’s like clear channel took sadistic pleasure in making us listen to them skull fuck the corpse of Kurt Kobain for 22.8 hours of the day. That’s basically what Nickelback was - not awful music, but rather the harbinger of the end times for independent radio and alternative rock.

    I legitimately do not get why people find casinos entertaining. Like even from the perspective of “I am willing to pay xyz dollars for the entertainment.”

    It’s not fucking entertaining. It’s boring as hell, even in fancy vegas casinos. Even if you are just trying to scam the casino for drinks, you are just sitting there pretending to gamble in exchange for some watered down cocktails. I can do that at home. Hell I can spend $100 on a nice fucking bottle of whiskey and drink the whole thing while watching reruns of “That 70s show” and it will be more entertaining than feeding slots.
