A whiny crybaby from
Canada who, like Britney Spears, is just corporate garbage for the masses. She sold her soul to
MTV and the radio, yet she still passes as an "artist" and a "very talented person". She has this "my life sucks and no
one understands me" attitude on a lot of her songs, not unlike Good Charlotte or
Simple Plan. 2004's Under My Skin shows her trying to do a few things that she isn't as well-known for on the music side, yet her lyrics still sound like they came from a grounded
teenager who doesn't get to take the car out for the weekend. She should've been a one-hit wonder like Right Said Fred or at least a small industry plant, but is far from one and has had at least five top 10 hits as of 2007 ("Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "My Happy Ending", "I'm with You" and "Girlfriend"). Her songs tend to be relatable for spoilt teens who
don't really have that many problems and are too shallow for their own good.
Avril may, at times, just be a pure ammuition for when boomers complain about what Generation Y listens to or what Generation Z listens to.
Avril Lavigne Fan: So you hate Avril, huh? If you
don't like her, why would you even look her up in the first place, you pathetically immature bitch? To anyone like you who doesn't think she can sing or thinks she's trying to be somebody she isn't, you're a person who is jealous enough to go and criticize her to
get attention. That's pathetic to me, you know.
Anti-
Pop Snob: OK, first of all,
don't call me jealous and
don't ever think that's how I am. Second, Avril is a fucking whiny, pop rock, pussy-ass
poser. How can she even be part of the culture or genre the media labels her as, even though I
don't care about that. She looks and sounds like Christina Aguilera, plus she's soft as fuck! Her attempts at adult contemporary music, soft rock,
soccer mom-core or whatever the fuck you want to call it–"I'm with You", "Complicated", "My Happy Ending", you name it–make her bland as hell and all she does in her songs is whine. Second and lastly, it's fucking pop music! It's Britney Spears, it's the Backstreet Boys, it's Madonna, it's *NSYNC, it's Christina Aguilera, it's Faith Hill, it's Shania Twain… it is what it is. Avril's not even fucking close to someone who's original or different and is just trying way too hard to be both. My, what a
poser.
