8. Nickelback Why? Nickelback's oft-mentioned tendency to write the same three songs over and over saves the dudebro tons of time switching gears in his head. Their immature party-hearty lyrics are peppered with just enough sentimentality and breakup overtones so that the dudebro can convince himself that, sure, they like to party, but they're actually really deep, man.
The dudebro doesn't know enough about music to know exactly how disgustingly unoriginal, derivative, and moronic Nickelback's songs really are, nor do they care to know. It's something to blast while cutting people off in your Mustang.
Dudebro rebuttal: "You just don't like 'em 'cause you're stuck up and you know they rock too hard for your gay ass! Listen to those chords, brah! Fuckin' RAWK!!!"

7. Creed Why: See "Nickelback," only more so, and with religious overtones.
Dudebro rebuttal: "Whatever, you know you're secretly totally into 'em! Come on, admit it! Come on! Everybody secretly loves Creed! Come on! Come onnnnnn!" digs elbow into your side conspiratorily
