Lecture 106B. Stayin' Alive Just To Remind You (PT 2)
In Lecture 106B, we fast-forward three decades to Nickelback — a band that became so big they turned into a meme. From How You Remind Me to Rockstar, they dominated radio, only to be roasted by critics, petitioned off NFL stages, and crowned “the most hated band in the world.” But the joke didn’t kill them. Nickelback refused to disappear, outlasting their peers and proving that survival itself can be a legacy.
