I thought it was Imagine Dragons.

While I'm not a fan, i think some people actually like Nickelback which is a step up from imagine dragons.

I genuinely like Imagine Dragons. I know just one song by Nickelback and I like it a lot.

Are you sure you just like one song? I like a number of their songs, but they all sound a lot alike...

These discussions always amuse me, and I have two responses about it. First, the customer is always right in matters of taste, and what can be more about taste than appreciating art? And second, for such hated bands, they sure sell a lot of records...

I'm pretty sure I've only ever heard one Nickelback song: How you remind me. And I liked it. I also find these disscussions rather curious. I understand someone liking or disliking a band, but to be frank, I don't get people hating bands (if the members are not obvious pieces of shit).

I might regret admitting this, but I like Nickelback and Imagine Dragons. Maybe it helps that I don't listen much to the radio anymore.

I also liked Smash Mouth until they played at that biker event during covid, the one after which cases exploded all over the US. Though in hindsight, it was probably inevitable that it would happen at some point anyways, so I don't feel as strongly about it now as I did back then because I still do like a lot of their songs, including All Star.

And I've come to realize that it's better to define your music tastes by what you like rather than what you hate. Having strong feelings of hatred just means you'll have a bad time if you randomly hear a song. I try to let me music tastes bottom out at mild disdain these days, like "I'd rather hear something else but it's no big deal."

Though some of the songs on Beat Saber are difficult to tolerate. I forget which collection it is, but one of them seems to have a theme of using unpleasant noises to make music. I don't enjoy it but also wonder if that's exactly how previous generations felt about some music I enjoy that they called noise. Out of curiosity, is there anyone who knows the songs I'm talking about that does enjoy listening to them?

I think that's a good mindset. Why waste energy hating art? It can't possibly appeal to everybody, so find something you like
