Let Go is the album of her's that I absolutely can't get enough of. If it wasn't for that album, I wouldn't be anywhere near as big of a fan, and I certainly wouldn't be partially obsessed with her - no matter how bangin' she is.
Avril isn't uber-omgz-bite-it-u-skumz-punk, but she is an immensely talented singer, who can certainly hit a wider range of notes than Kim Gordon (...just sayin'), that was promoted worldwide as a tomboyish, down-to-earth alternative to Britney Spears, and the like. If we're critiquing her as a mere pop culture entity, Avril Lavigne is quite possibly the most processed punk persona of all time. She's a pop diva, and therefore must be viewed in an entirely different respect - not amongst Punky Brewster and the like.
Avril is certainly a punk by material girl standards. She's about as punk as a corporate media product can get. Remember her neck tie and bondage pants gimmick? This is a girl who writes her own songs too. So what if she's a hot young girl, and her music is aimed specifically at very early teens? Isn't that what punk started off as? Rebellious youth seeking an alternative? When you're jail baiting a mohawked teen in the sweaty restroom of your favorite venue - are you not getting off on just how punk she (he?) is - despite the probable lack of sincerity in their DIY values?
Sorry that you're old now Thurston. :cool:
