Nickelback Has a New Song and It Is a Terrifying Disco Nightmare

They've really forged some new ground in their new song, and that ground is disgusting faux-disco pop with a chorus that goes "Coca-Cola roller coaster."

Nickelback has somehow managed to be universally reviled while also maintaining a successful career long after their contemporaries like Three Doors Down and Creed have slipped away. How has the band been able to sustain this long? The New Yorker pointed out that our collective loathing has something to do with it, and the band is good at recycling their own ideas, but ultimately, Nickelback is one of the biggest rock bands in the world because they're not afraid to experiment. They keep striving for more, like true artists should. They've really forged some new ground in their latest song, "She Keeps Me Up," and that ground is disgusting faux-disco pop with a chorus that includes the phrase "Coca-Cola roller coaster." Give it a watch and really soak in the surreality.
