All self-reported measures are wrong. Some are useful. My personal hypothesis is that Chad Kroeger looks weird and that’s it. Every giant band has either a frontman, or a set of people who comprise the ethos that people attach to in a band Everybody has their favorite beatle or they love the lead singer of band x or whatever. I’ve literally never heard somebody say Chad Kroeger’s their favorite artist, Or he’s such a hunk, etc. meanwhile, bands with smaller followings have rabid fans like my daughter and this obscure band with rabid following. Nirvana wouldn’t have been shit if Kurt Cobain wasn’t such an icon. So in my estimation, it comes down, purely to the fact that nobody in the band was worth emulating or being excited about given the size of their musical presence.
