They just got overexposed I think. You couldn't go an hour without hearing a Nickelback single on the radio in the 00s.

Started when they were overplayed on the radio during the entire 2000s and even the early 2010s and people got sick of it. And Kroger's singing style isn't for everyone to begin with. To some it's "wow so much energy" and others would respond with "dude take a laxative"

if you hate Limp Bizkit, you have to at least admit that Wes Borland is the Dr Dre of recognizable guitar riffs. that dude has made some of the most recognizable hook-like chorus riffs of all time. legit they reminds me of like catchy bounce beats in like early 2000's hip hop.

I do wonder sometimes what good stuff from Nickelback I missed out on due to all the "Photograph" radio spam turning me off from them in the 2000's. Every once in a while I'll hear a snippet from their more recent albums and be like "oh wait, this riff is actually kinda dope." Creed always did have some good stuff, and with the Christian angle it meant they were a band parents in the rural Midwest were more approving of, which was a plus. Shame about Stapp, but Alter Bridge eventually addressed that problem. I think what gave me the hardest time regarding Babymetal was knowing what I do about the Japanese idol scene, as well as how an idol's manufactured appearance and act conflicted with my image of metal. Four years of watching corpo vtubers has softened my opinions in some ways on the culture yet confirmed my misgivings in others, so it's a band I'm still kinda iffy about regardless of whether the music slaps or not.

The very first Nickelback single "Leader of Men" was pretty good and then they dropped off the map. A few years later they came back with "How You Remind Me" and I hated that song. It was played everywhere, turn a radio dial and you could hear it 5-6 times an hour. Freshman year of college and my roommate love Nickelback and Creed, played them all the time and it drove me nuts. I do remember some of the 'heavier' tunes from those early albums but I couldn't take it. To this day I still detest both bands, just overplayed and bland. Seen Muse several times, yes their albums have dropped off a bit however they still put on great live shows.
