avrilavrilavril

once upon a time, i listen to avril's songs and believed that they were nice. once upon a time, i looked at avril's face and believed that she was pretty. 2 years later, i listen to avril's songs and think that they make my maid's karaoke singing sound nice. 2 years later, i look at her face and still think she look's pretty.



maybe not. but the one on the right still looks nice.


yeah, so how in the world did my view of her change so much?

1. the discovery of better music that led me to understand that most pop songs are stupid, and found out what 'punk' is all about.

prior to this, i only ONLY listened to pop songs and also downloaded stupid pop songs. then, i discovered the greatness of godsmack from her, and i was promptly enlightened. this widened my listening range and i found out that punk is totally unlike avril's 'music'.

2. thus i come to realise that she is neither punk nor skater. but is, in fact, a poseUr.

her songs are pop. however, she believes that she is punk for some unknown reason. she also thinks that she is a skater, but more on that later.

3. i found out that she is the biggest walking contradiction in the history of mankind.

ok, this is where the fun starts.
[note: all quotes are quoted directly from avril, reproduced without permission.]

i'm a skater punk who writes guitar-driven rock.
then on a later interview,
it bugs the hell out of me when people say i'm not punk. i never claimed to be.

i'm not into gloss and glamour. its so fake.
i hate make-up and shit like that, if you wanna express yourself, do it in your music.
so what's up with the make-up? then,
i dress cool and look hot so if you don't like it, suck it.

in case you didn't know, ties on chicks are, like, so five months ago?
and she is never without a tie.
i created punk for this day and age. do you see britney walking around and wearing ties? hell no. that's what i do.

i created punk for this day and age. i am like sid vicious (sex pistols' bassist) for a new generation.
and then,
people are like 'well she doesn't know the sex pistols.' why would i know that stuff? look how young i am. that stuff's old, right?

i would describe my album as rock, pop, alternative... it's kinda all over.
but,
i don't want to be no fake pop shit.
and,
my music is true rock.

i write my own songs. i don't like people putting their lyrics into my songs.
however,
according to the matrix, they wrote the bulk of the three hit singles by themselves, following their first meeting with lavigne. "with those songs, we conceived the ideas on guitar and piano," says christy. "avril would come in and sing a few melodies, change a word here or there. she came up with a couple of things in 'complicated,' like, instead of 'take off your stupid clothes,' she wanted it to say 'preppy clothes.'"
and inside her album, next to each song, it says 'written by avril lavigne and ---'. not one song was written completely by her.

actually i think she wouldn't be all that bad if she just accepted the fact that she is NOT a punk nor a skater. and just concentrate on singing her pop songs while shutting her trap when speaking with reporters to aviod contradicting herself.
