Someone who went with her own style and got labeled a poser. Funny how quick people who say they're against labels slap labels on people, huh? fscking hypocrites. Punk isn't about how you sing or dress, punk is about being yourself and not conforming yourself to the way other people want you to be. And as soon as somone comes along that actually doesn't conform to an expected singing style, all the self-proclaimed 'unconformists' slam her for what she likes. She didn't cause the downfall of anything, maybe she only exposed the hypocrits in the punk community. The Ramones did plenty of 60s pop songs, but come on! They were one of the best punk bands of the 20th century. You don't have to like her (I think her voice is... less than perfect) but if you're going to not like her, don't do it for a reason that's so popular, like the label of "poser." She didn't ruin punk, it's still a great form of music.

Get the aarilyn mug.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.

Get the Avril Lavigne mug.Avily
Noun
Pronunciation: /ˈav(ə)li/
A legendary fountain from whence springs forth abundantly both wisdom and riches.
The origin of ‘Avily’ is to be found in Cornwall, England being both Celtic and Iberian in origin. The first recorded use is said to be in 1066 where the name was carved onto a gigantic boulder made of granite (along with other insignias) found by local miners near Porkellis Moor, onto which some historians have called ‘the treasure map of Wendron’.
The name ‘Avily’ was in popular use in the 13th century, made so by knights and maidens who spread rumours of its wealth and wisdom, and many are said to have gone in search of this forbidden yet desirable drink from ‘the Avily’.

Get the Avily mug.The beauty of avrilation is that something can be continually created from nothing.
It's a marketing theory that runs against every law of physics that anybody knows, but it works because of the other law that states "there's a sucker born every minute".
The theory states that:
There is always someone who will hand over good money for a product that is worthless, even if it is created from another product that is worthless. In the process, those involved will be provided with real money that allows them to gather a very nice lifestyle and some things that are probably not schlock, thank you very much.
The product can be anything - a singer, a perfume, a keychain, item of jewelry, etc. - but is always schlock with no value in and of itself.
The marketing is always accompanied with at least one example of a lack of integrity that the victims will never see.
The term is derived from the marketing of Avril Lavigne that continued with her own marketing of herself to promote products that are associated with her for marketing purposes, etc etc etc.

Get the avrilation mug.She stands up for what she believes in and no record company can make you something your not. Considering she switched record labels more than once because they were tring to make her someone she was not. And how many other artists actually write their own songs, play piano, guitar, and drums. Not many especially not many 20 year olds. So no matter what you may think or be jealous that she made it and you didn't dont disrespect her for doing her thing and doing it very well.
Avril Lavigne is a person who is herself, and has put her career from the begining in jeapordy because of that mentality that being an individual is more important than following a record companies beliefs.
