Song by Nickelback sends wrong message

The song titled "Rockstar" by Nickelback is sending the wrong message to people because it talks about acquiring material things, using drugs, and partying all the time. Just listen to the lyrics and you'll see what I'm talking about. This group is hard to figure out because they have the song titled "If everyone cared" which is a good song with a positive message but then they have songs like Rockstar which send a bad message. One part of Rockstar I don't understand is at the beginning of the chorus when the lead singer says "We all just want to be big rockstars". I don't know who he's talking about but it's definitely not me. I don't care for that lifestyle and I know material things aren't going to make me happy. Nickelback is a good band but they need to figure out which side of the fence they're on and stop sending mixed messages through their music.

Facinating.

I'm sure, if you sent them a letter, the band members would greatly appreciate your evaluation of their song.

I think I might care more if I actually liked their music.

Uhhhh... but isn't that the life of a rockstar when you think of it? You proved it in your post, they do have songs with positive messages. If you don't like the song, don't listen to it!

And why don't you listen to some rap songs and see how you feel after some of those...

wait... why did you pick upon this song?? and why only now?? its not a new song its been around for a long time before its re-release. try listening to some of teh hip-hop or "rap" songs they dont exactly tell us about the good lives we should all be leading.

Plus its just a song, if someone listens this song and thinks "oh... rockstars do drugs so now i will do drugs" was screwed anyway and it was just a amtter of time until they played manhunt and went on a killing spree.

But they are correct in assuming we all have our favorite damn disease.

Um, im pretty sure the song doesent promote the lifestyle.

Either way, the band and the song blows...

"Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial..."

"We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat"

Actually, fairly accurate. The song may not perpetuate ideals of normal society, but it holds true in most aspects of celebrity and rockstar society.

Yeah, but a lot of them smoke weed. But you're right, hardcore drugs like dope are less common nowadays, though coke is still relevant.

Yeah, who wants to be good looking and rich? Pshhh... Be a good person and you'll succeed, except that's not true. Also, I don't like them, most people don't, so nobody cares. wemhim

Yes, they just made multiple #1 hits. Any band that does that has to suck, right? :roll:. Why does everyone like to always jump on the hate bandwagon. I bet most of the people here, including you, have never even given them a chance.

I honestly have a hard time telling all of their songs apart...they all sound the same!UnknownSniper65

Hmm... I have never been a fan so I don't have any of their albums but there songs are recognizably different. I'm a big RATM fan and hell if I remember the names of a third of their songs because they sound very similar and all deal with similar unjust BS. Nickelback are doing fine as far as songs not sounding the same.
