Avril is a scapegout for modern day punk rockers. (No one told them punk died in the 80s, and that Epitaph is actually a major record label and Rancid is just as pre-manufactured as avril).
Avril killed punk, and disco.
Avril has rehashed a fad from 20 years ago.
I hate Avrils.
Born in the south, evolved from blues. Pioneered by Chuck Berry, stolen by Elvis. Acheived perfection between '65 and '73. Died in the early 90's. The name is used to describe pop music marketed towards teenage males in modern times.
Nickleback is "modern" rock.
The beatles, the who, Led Zep, Hendrix, Berry etc. are REAL rock.
