When one dislikes something, without reason, simply because others dislike it.
Sam: I can't put my finger on it, but I really don't like Nicolas Cage! He just rubs me the wrong way.
Ben: I don't know, man, it sounds to me like you're suffering from a bad case of The Nickelback Effect.
Mainstream success achieved by demonstrating exceptional mediocrity.
"Really, Two and a Half Men is the most popular show on television? Must be the Nickelback Effect."

Something that gets hate only because the rest of the general public hopped on that old hate train. Goes hand in hand with the Android Effect.
"Hey man you check out that new Nickelback?"
"Nah Nickelback sucks dude, screw Nickelback!"
"You ever listen to them?"
"Nope."
"Wow, you are a living and breathing example of the Nickelback Effect."

A concept describing a type of music which most people find detestable, but remains profitable due to a subset of married middle class women who lack enough depth to actually enjoy it.
It's your wife and her friends. They jam out to it in the car. His voice is like audible chocolate to them. They can't help it. Nickelback's concerts are mostly reasonably attractive middle aged women and a small subset of guys looking to get laid because they have already figured this out.
Ed Sheeran wouldn't sell a single record if not for the Nickelback Effect
