they are terrible...
A - his voice sounds like he's been gargling tar and glass
B - their lyrics are lackluster, generic, boring and any other clever synonyms you may have
C - the mentality they have for themselves that they're badass rockstars
but to address the original question directly... i would say that there are numerous shitty bands along the same lines as these guys, but not many are shoved down the listeners ears as much as nickleback. so the hatred for this shit is more on the forefront.
im a drummer, but i can assure you if you handed me a PRS, i could puke on the strings* and put out something better than the contrived 'rock' song "How You Remind Me"
* which would be heresy
