That and he's a mega insecure duchebag. "I don't know, I haven't been listening much music lately" would have worked just fine, or at the very least it couldn't possibly be this bad.
I'm pretty amazed that people don't immediately hear the stereotypical doucheyness, as well as the teenager-pandering, intelligence-insulting, terrible messages the moment they hear Nickelback.
Maybe I don't hate Nickelback for the same "gut" reasons the internet does, but I sure do hate them.
