He doesn't lie about the style of music he writes (or co-writes in some cases) and performs, nor does he claim credit for other people's work, and while I may not like him in particular, I respect him a damn lot more than Avril Lavigne.

It's not just about image, it's about Avril trying to portray herself as something she isn't, never has been, and never will be, which is "punk" or "hardcore".
