Indeed.
Hmmm. These are the stuff I'd NOT listen to if it wasn't forced down my throat everytime I turn on the Radio or speak to anyone.
HIM-Overrated. With a un-charismistic singer who proclaims the usual "expected" attitide to rock music. "Oh look at us! We're so angsty!" Some agnst is okay. But 3 albums sounding fairly the same, with no change in direction? That shows lack of creativity. Which is a crime in itself.
D12- hanging on Em's coatails. The fact that none can get a solo carrer shows how un-imposing they are. Say what you want about Em (i'm not a fan) but at least respect that he has personailty. A voice if you will. Bands that are remembered a long time have a lead singer that catches attention. Eddie Vedder. Kurt Cobain *groan* Billy Corgan Ian Curtis. Frank Black. Steven Tyler. Mick Jagger. Bjork. Cliff Richard. They have character. NONE of D12 has character in themselves.
That's just a few. Some things are down to taste anyway. Country Music is okay (My Mum likes it) I certainly don't but they have character. They also try not to fit into a cliché.
And as for the PUNK thing I think it all comes down to the difference between the US and the UK. Sex Pistols is Punk. Blink 182 are not. But in the US, they are classified as PUNK in some places. It's like the term HRADCORE. used to mean Politically charged Rock (RATM) but now it means Dance music. Blink are Pop/Punk.
[EDIT: Avril said her latest album was inspired by The Smashing Pumpkins in places (given to her by older band players). I listened to it as a fan of the Pumpkins, and seeing if she'd actually developed. I found nothing. the Pumpkins were notewortyhy for Sylvia Plath-like professing lyrics, altering quiet/loud and Guitar solos.It had none of these things. She lied to appeal more "knowing". That annoyed more than anything. If a band say something which isn't true, then that is a travety in itself.]
"I think you'd make any (nice) woman happy... & I think you really deserve for someone to make you happy too for a change"
GOOD CHARLOTTE my Lord they are so incredibly terrible how can someone sing that badly?! Even Britney is better than that 'hottie twin' and I'm sooooo sick and tired of some little idiot always going, "Oh my God! I love Good Charlotte! Joel and Benji are sooooooooo hott!" :rolleyes2. Someone please kill me slowly and painfully if I ever hear those sentences again! Anyway I think that I'm going to hire some assassins to murder these people:
Avril
Madonna
Britney
Kelly Osbourne the moocher (thank God her record company cut her off Madonna's version of "Papa Don't Preach" was a masterpiece compared to her cover)
Ashlee
Evanescence
and I'm in a rush and those are the only people I could come up with on the top of my head.
A couple more bands that make me sick, and why.
-Metallica-They used to be about the music. Now, all they care about is their money. That, and they practically left Napster in ruins. I'd like to beat Lars Ulrich down for that one!
-KoRn-Stands for Klearly overrated Rock nuisances.
-All those PETA artists-There's one thing they don't understand. If I want a cheeseburger, I will eat a damn cheeseburger. I gives no F if it offends you, because you done worked my last nerve with your terrorism tactics! Quit forcing your idealistic crap upon us meat-eaters!
i want a quote and a source.

Here's a page of quotes by Avril. She actually compared herself to Kurt Cobain, said she was punk, bragged about not wearing a helmet and knee pads when skating, and other silly stuff. There aren't any references, but I'm looking.
Oh yeah, and good proof with some references, as this is neither pro or anti Avril:

She called her self "hardcore" :rolleyes2
EDIT:
There."I wish everyone whould stop saying that I'm not "punk"! God damnit, I created punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. Thats what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation. People look up to me and want to be me. And thats fine, just don't try to copy the sh*t I do!"

Haha, what a dumbass."I wish everyone whould stop saying that I'm not "punk"! God damnit, I created punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. Thats what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation. People look up to me and want to be me. And thats fine, just don't try to copy the sh*t I do!"
No... Did she REALLY say that? I mean seriously? Im not sure I even believe she said something THAT stupid. Has anybody ever seen a punk in a tie? Yeah she knows who Sid Vicious is, but has she heard of Johnny Rotten... Now that's the question."I wish everyone whould stop saying that I'm not "punk"! God damnit, I created punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. Thats what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation. People look up to me and want to be me. And thats fine, just don't try to copy the sh*t I do!"
We just all need to shut up and listen to Bob Marley.
I'll finish this... Avril is NOT punk! Some of her songs may have the punk SOUND, but the lyrics? It is a disgrace to even call that punk...
Punk is not about love and heartbreak, that's pop-punk & emo. Avril is pop-punk, definately.
I could go on forever, but I'll keep this short. Punk was originally about the world issues. It came around back when Reagan was in office. The original punks protested and rebelled against the Reagan administration. However, after Reagan left office, punk went underground. A few punk bands remained, such as the Dead Kennedys and NoFX. But a few years later, pop-punk came along and people started mistaking it for punk. It had the sound, but not the lyrics.
A few true punk bands still remain, though. You want real punk? Go pick up NoFX's "The War on Errorism", Anti-flag's "You've Gotta Die for the Government", The Casualties "On the Front Lines"
Listen to some of that, Avril! She would probably throw a fit and write some crappy song about how she really is punk. Pfft...
^ War on Errorism is ok but nothing is as good as the decline.
