Keeping Rock Alive?.....anyone?

I know I am not the only one getting tired of people so called trying to "keep rock alive" while it's slowly dying by our own hands. One thing that bothers me is the fact that people love to talk badly about rock bands that they don't like, for example, Nickelback. Why do people constantly have to talk so poorly of Nickelback, when all they did was have a dream of becoming rock stars and were able to successfully turn their dream into a reality with millions of supporting fans behind them? Now I know many people could say that Nickelback sucks and they killed rock music but what else can you say?Can you come up with something better than that? Or let me guess, are you just one of the many losers who joined the I Hate Nickelback bandwagon just to feel like you're finally a part of something. Well getting back to the main point, i feel that the best way to keep rock alive is to not talk so much crap about the rock bands that still makes good music for their fans and start appreciating them, even if you don't like them just keep the negativity to yourself.
