Hey, don't rip on Nickelback! I woke up with a new face tattoo after passing out at one of their shows!

Well, any band you've ever heard of certainly has at least a handful of fans, but there are definitely bands that became the butt of internet hate memes in the last few years.
For example, Nickelback, Creed, and Limp Bizkit have been brought up but they obviously had enough fans to be successful.
In the internet meme category, we have some bands from about 10 years ago when it was apparently trendy to put color streaks in your hair and use a F-ton of autotune.

aaaaand Brokencyde:
Rebecca Black has been mentioned already; she was the unfortunate target of internet hate as well.
The Shaggs fit into a weird category, also amplified by the internet, of "bad bands that are ironically liked".
I don't hate on the Shaggs because when you read their story it's kind of sad what their dad put those girls through, and the fact that at least one of them is still at it is kind of uplifting.

What was that band that fabricated a following to go on tour in Europe and played to empty rooms? Threaten? Something like that.
Obligatory Nickelback
Green Day seem to get a lot of flack
Creed

Goo Goo Dolls have to be up there, I find them un-listenable.
Unfortunately there are hundreds of bands that followed their overly sappy future supermarket music formula, like Imagine Dragons, X Ambassadors, and American Authors.
Ooooh I especially hate American Authors.

Fun fact; I saw them open for Page and Plant a few weeks before their singer died. Even from the cheap seats it was obvious he was seriously under the influence.

Oh Goo Goo Dolls good choice. Can we add Collective Soul to the list?
Lot of 90s bands on this list. How about something from ye olden times?
