It sure as hell feels like manufactured hate than real hate. With Nickleback, I only ever started seeing people making fun of them after an episode of South Park (iirc) made fun of them, which just made every one of those jokes posted by a user online seem like they just wanted to copy the show and get some laughs. It feels exactly the same when I see memes hating on Imagine Dragons.
