The band later changed its name to Nickelback, which originated from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070706164255/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/nickelback/biography Nickelback: Biography].

===''Curb'' and ''The State'' (1996–2000)=== In 1996, the band recorded and released their first full-length album, ''Curb''. "Fly" was included on both ''Hesher'' and ''Curb'' and was the first single produced by Nickelback. In 1997, Brandon Kroeger left the band and was replaced by Mitch Guindon; however, Guindon soon departed as well. While initially reported due to him starting work at a car company, Guindon's departure came due to him "not [being] meant for the road". Chad Kroeger stated that his skin was not able to handle cold weather and they convinced him to leave.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/nickelback-wikipedia-fact-or-fiction/|title=NICKELBACK PLAY 'WIKIPEDIA: FACT OR FICTION?'|website=Loudwire.com|last=Hartman|first=Graham|date=August 23, 2017|access-date=August 6, 2020}}</ref> In Summer 1998, Ryan Vikedal joined the band.

Roadrunner A&R Ron Burman told HitQuarters that one of his West Coast scouts sent him the self-released album and, suitably impressed, he travelled to Vancouver to see them perform live. Although an unknown property in the industry at the time, the venue was packed out. In Burman's words: "I immediately got the chills! I thought their song 'Leader of Men' was a smash hit."<ref name="hitquarters.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/2002/April23_2_33_20.html |title=Interview with Ron Burman |publisher=HitQuarters|date=April 23, 2002 |access-date=Nov 19, 2010}}</ref> Off the stage he was impressed by their industry and initiative in managing their career. Despite this, it still took Burman three months for him to convince his label bosses to approve the signing, a decision that would mark Roadrunner's first move into mainstream rock.<ref name="hitquarters.com"/> Nickelback signed a record deal with EMI and Roadrunner Records in 1999.

''The State'' was released by Nickelback in 2000 by Roadrunner Records and EMI Canada, followed by its release in Europe in 2001. It spawned four singles: "Old Enough", "Worthy to Say", "Leader of Men" and "Breathe", the last two being Top 10 rock hits. The album was the band's first album to be certified gold status and it later went into platinum status in 2008, after the success of their later albums.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS |title=Gold & Platinum – February 14, 2010 |publisher=RIAA |access-date=February 14, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130225031458/http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS |archive-date=February 25, 2013 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The album entered the ''Billboard'' 200 at number 130 and peaked at number 3 in the Billboard Top Heatseekers albums chart and peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Top Independent albums chart.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Awards|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fxEEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA55|magazine=Billboard|date= September 16, 2000}}</ref>

=== ''Silver Side Up'' and ''The Long Road'' (2001–2004) === Around 2001, Chad Kroeger started "studying every piece, everything sonically, everything lyrically, everything musically, chord structure. I would dissect every single song that I would hear on the radio or every song that had ever done well on a chart and I would say, 'Why did this do well?'" Kroeger said that Nickelback's single "How You Remind Me" sold so well because it was about romantic relationships, a universal subject, and contained memorable hooks.<ref name="notablebiographies2007">{{cite web|url=http://www.notablebiographies.com/newsmakers2/2007-Li-Pr/Nickelback.html |title=Nickelback Biography – born, house, time, year, Career, Sidelights, Selected discography, Sources – Newsmakers Cumulation |publisher=Notablebiographies.com |access-date=November 6, 2011}}</ref>

On August 19, 2002, an incident occurred while the band was performing at the Ilha do Ermal festival in Portugal. While performing the second song of their set, Chad Kroeger was sprayed with a full bottle of water hurled from somewhere within the audience. After finishing the song, Chad asked the crowd, "Do you want to hear some rock 'n' roll or do you want to go home?" A person in the audience then threw a rock at Chad's head. The band then left stage, with Chad and Vikedal giving the finger to the audience as they left. The band's label, Roadrunner, posted video footage of the entire incident on their website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chartattack.com/damn/2002/08/2109.cfm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030705100124/http://chartattack.com/damn/2002/08/2109.cfm|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 5, 2003|title=Nickelback Get Pelted By Rocks in Portugal |publisher=Chart Attack|access-date=January 31, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeDV3ERyc0k | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/AeDV3ERyc0k| archive-date=2021-10-30|title=Nickelback sucking in Portugal | date=April 2009|via=YouTube|access-date=January 31, 2019}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In a July 2021 interview, Mike Kroeger was asked about the band's progress on new music. He stated: "That is happening right now, music is being composed and recorded up in Canada. We were out there, and something came up and our producer had to take some time off. So I took that opportunity to return home to Los Angeles with family and spend a little time at home but I'll be headed back up there in a couple of weeks to pick it up again." When asked about a potential timeframe for a release date, Kroeger said "it'll be done when it's done", explaining that the band would rather not be confined to a timescale for fear of making "a shitty record". "Release dates are primarily arrived at by business interests, like record labels and whatever. We don't have one of those", he said. "We've been managing ourselves for about a year. So, the answer is no. We're doing it on our schedule, at our own pace, and it'll be done when it's done. 'Cause we've blown up deadlines in the past lots of times. Because we feel that you can make a good record and be late, but you can't, or you shouldn't, make a shitty record to be on time. So we won't be pressed for time.<ref>{{cite web|first=Merlin|last=Alderslade|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/nickelback-heavy-new-song|title=Nickelback are teasing a seriously heavy new song and the internet is loving it|date=August 24, 2022|access-date=September 7, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/nickelback-is-working-on-new-studio-album-itll-be-done-when-its-done|title=Nickelback is Working on New Studio Album: 'It'll be Done when It's Done'|work=Blabbermouth.net|date=July 31, 2021|access-date=September 7, 2022}}</ref>

Journalist Sage Lazzaro claimed that Nickelback's negative reputation began when the band signed to Roadrunner Records and was disliked by the label's followers, which at the time was known for heavy metal music. She also wrote that a frequently aired 2003 commercial for Comedy Central's ''Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn'' contributed to this spreading when it insulted Nickelback and the commercial gained mass exposure.<ref name=":2" /> In 2014, Angelica Leicht of ''Houston Press'' conferred the title of "the reigning butt-rock band always and forever" on Nickelback.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leicht |first=Angelica |title=Top 10 Butt-Rock Bands of All Time |url=https://www.houstonpress.com/music/top-10-butt-rock-bands-of-all-time-6519109 |access-date=June 25, 2025 |website=Houston Press}}</ref>

Some have criticized the band for a perceived overreliance on hedonistic and misogynistic themes. Christopher Rosa of ''VH1'' said in 2015: "Not only are they bad, but they sound like they came straight from a horny 18-year-old boy's mind. Seriously, where's the sophistication? Where's the class?

[[File:Nickelback live at Tiff 2023.jpg|280px|thumb|Nickelback live at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival]] === Response to criticism === In 2012, the band personally and sarcastically responded to tweets from people on Twitter criticizing them.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carlson |first=Erin |date=2012-01-24 |title=Nickelback Fires Back at Haters on Twitter |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-news/nickelback-haters-twitter-chad-kroeger-here-and-now-284460/ |access-date=2025-12-20 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref> In spite of the negative reviews, Chad Kroeger commented in a 2014 interview that the criticism helped him "grow a thick skin", and that without it, they would be "this just whatever band" or "Green Day".<ref>{{cite news |date=November 24, 2014 |title=Nickelback doesn't mind being the world's most-hated band: "Without that, we would just be Green Day" |url=https://nationalpost.com/entertainment/music/nickelback-doesnt-mind-being-the-worlds-most-hated-band-without-that-we-would-just-be-green-day |access-date=December 16, 2021 |work=The National Post |agency=The Canadian Press}}</ref> That same year, he was quoted saying: "I love it [The] more controversy that surrounds either myself, my personal life, the band, whatever – I think it’s hilarious.

In 2023, he stated that negativity towards the band had been less scathing as it had been in previous years. He said: "I think there's been a softening, there really has, thankfully. I'm not sure if it's because we receive a ton of love on TikTok or whatever the hell it is, but for whatever reason the teeth have kind of been removed. It's really nice, it's really nice to not be Public Enemy Number One." Kroeger attributed some of the vitriol towards Nickelback as partially due to overplaying of the band's tracks on radio stations: "You're trying to switch the radio station three times, and it's just, like, 'Ah, there they are. There's their rock song on the rock station. There's their pop song on the pop station. And oh my god, I can't even go to the country station and get away from these guys.'
