To further strengthen what Mandee said... if I put on a cowboy hat, boots, and the whole ensemble (we'll say they're cheap and rhinestone studed, because Avril doesnt even really dress punk, and yes I can provide photo evidence for that) and proceed to rap, does that mean I'm blending rap and country?
edit: And I shall quote the mighty Tyler Durden "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."
I don't like Madonna much, but at least she comes up with interesting/innovative stuff. She sets fashion trends man. XDQuote:
I don't see why she can't, Madonna's been riding fads successfully for almost 20 years.But let's hope it never comes to that. :p
EDIT:
*realizes that Avril has sparked the "IM PUNK CUZ I WEAR A TIE!!!!!!" trend*
..Oh dear God, no.......
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I saw this title I knew it was going to become a b*tch fest thread. I like her. But I'm not gonna spark anything. I actually admire her. But it appears some would say that's only because I don't know enough about her. I do recall an interview where she got mad at people like this that hate her for being some poser punk when she never said she was punk in the first place. Someone want to show me where/when she started calling herself punk? Or are all you assuming as well just so you can refer to her as a poser too? (:
I just like her style. Especially now that she doesn't try so hard to wear the ugliest things she can find. She finds darker versions of "normal" clothes. And I think it suits her better. It's like what I would wear, sans going to hot topic and going over board. But even as "trendy" as that place is, I'd still shop there just for my own personal look. Forget trends and fads. Everyone can be themselves. If it seems similar to something who cares. Not everyone wants to be labelled for their likes. Then there's others who don't care. And those that try to become a certain stereotype. But still... who cares?
I admire the people that just don't like her personality and/or singing/lyrics. Everything else is just really immature, and shallow image-based BS...
Well, her music is called punk by her promoters (and I assume by her), and I've watched an interview when she first came out and I had no idea who she was, where they asked her about punk bands and she talked about how punk she was. I cant remember exactly what was said, though.
As for actual quotes:
-" In a recent magazine article, Avril proclaimed, "I don't write 'Oh-baby-baby' songs. I'm a skater punk who writes guitar driven rock." "
-From nationalpost.com "When it is suggested that even then her tastes were kind of pop-oriented, her head snaps up as though she's been slapped. 'New country,' she says, as though pop music is somehow less cool than new country. Then again, it seems any music is better than pop music in Lavigne's eyes. Later, when it is mentioned that she seems poised for pop stardom, she is quick to correct. 'No, no, no. Rock stardom,' she says forcefully. 'I don't like using the term pop star because that's not my personality. My personality is like a rock star. I'm hardcore.'" (not exactly punk, but hardcore)
-"I created Punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. That's what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation." from Bramy Quote
I'm sure there's more, but I dont wanna search very much.
I really dont think anyone's bitching, and I feel it's unfair to say that. People are expressing their opinions on her, good and bad.

Yet another reason to listen to classical, where the only thing you have to worry about is some unoriginal bastard coming around, stealing a good piece, and raping it repeatedly. And then you can give them hell. And order returns to the world.
Hmm... I guess it all boils down to what YOU (general people) consider hardcore and punk ^_^ Which obviously most disagree with her on. But I'd certainly take her over Britteny Spears...
In case you can't recognize sarcasm the only reason secret Avy Lavignry lover was in my sig was to pester psy. Girls that wear ties make me wanna puke and she has nothing on Sid Vicous. Never mind the poser punk, here's the sex pistols!
