Nickelback...eeww
Looking to woo that special someone online? Probably best not to mention Nickelback if so; they’ve just been voted music’s ‘biggest turn-off’ by the music-based dating website Tastebuds.fm.
Nickelback took the dubious honour ahead of teen pop sensation Justin Bieber, with Lady Gaga a bit more of a surprising choice at #3.
Rock’s premier stadium-fillers Coldplay and U2 are placed at #5 and #6 respectively, with Britney Spears being another major pop act making the top ten.
Visitors to Tastebuds were asked to nominate as many as 12 acts they consider to be the biggest turn-offs, with Nickelback accounting for 13% of the total votes cast.
As for Coldplay, their place on the list comes not long after the same website named them as the act whose fans were ‘least likely to have sex on a first date’, a list which Lady Gaga and Katy Perry also featured on.
‘Top’ 10:
1. Nickelback
2. Justin Bieber
3. Lady Gaga
4. Ke$ha
5. Coldplay
6. U2
7. Creed
8. Katy Perry
9. Lil Wayne
10. Britney Spears
Basically, I imagine him as the kind of parent who whips his kids for saying swear words, and if that’s not unlibertarian then nothing is.
