First off, I never ever EVER want to hear ANY avril song referred to as punk. This girl is as poppy and fake as all the people she critisizes. If you do think this is punk then you plain and simple have never heard punk. Avrils songwriting hasn't "grown" or "matured." The few songs she actually writes are still the same old stuff from the last cd. Its rediculous that this girl sells any records period. It proves single-handedly that all record companies do these days is snatch up someone with a little talent, give them a whole new band, and throw 14 songs their way. Then they leave it to MTV to shove it down peoples throats and they start buying the cds. Music is sad these days and people like avril lavigne are the reason why.
