Yep. Bands like that are for people who don't like music. Fast food for your ears. Also up until a certain age, most younger people base their musical taste more on visual cues and trendiness. There was a cool study done on it a while ago, wish I could remember more details, it's been forever since I read it. Get a group together with a good image, write some catchy songs with your standard chord progressions/riffs and cheesy lyrics, label pays the radio stations to play the hell out of it, and you're there.

If we're gonna talk about canadien bands: unexpect I didn't realize nickelback is from canada, please someone take them back asap.
