If you make fun of The Chainsmokers in public, they will double down on making fun of themselves. Especially if you dare them to cover Nickelback.
This week, Esquire published a think piece likening EDM's chart-topping duo to Nickelback, a band of grungy Canadians who also topped charts in their day. Both make popular music about their dicks, the piece argues, so The Chainsmokers are apparently to electro-pop what Nickelback were to post-grunge.
It turns out that Drew Taggart does a pretty mean Chad Kroeger impression when put to the task. In a video shared to Twitter, The Chainsmokers performed a quick mash-up of their own song "Paris" with Nickelback's breakthrough hit "How You Remind Me" (which, for whatever it's worth, is about crippling alcoholism and depression, not dick).
If post-grunge ever makes a resurgence, Taggart could easily swap genres at the drop of a hat.
