Personally I grew to hate them, because the radio station I listened to at the time over played them. It was just too much. Creed was in the same category, and they both sounded so similar to me that it made it that much worse.

I called that genre "Creed-likes" in high school.

Seether, Staind, Puddle of Mud, Nickleback (and many more (like Hinder, eugh)) were all basically the same band. A bunch of pretty popular bands all around the same time, but Nickleback was the biggest.

Then there were a bunch of other bands that sounded pretty similar. Foo Fighters, Fuel, Breaking Benjamin, etc. Not Creed-likes but similar enough that it oversaturated the genre.

And since Nickleback was the most overplayed, they got the most hate.

It helps that the "Look at this photograph." got memed on so hard.
