Hey y'all, I didn't write this next part, but I do agree with it. 100%. It's about Avril Lavigne. My home-slice Orphy (Deryck Orther) wrote it.

Avril Lavigne Is Not Punk
As you should know by now, I absolutely hate Avril Lavigne. Everytime I hear that trash, whether it be on TV or from some idiot playing it aloud at school, I cringe. I cannot stand her. Every part of me wishes she'd quit her so called "music career" and start selling fried chicken again, where she belongs.
Anyway, Avril Lavigne came to my city last night. I know two people who went to this "concert". I use the word concert loosely and in quotes, and you will see why in just a couple minutes. Anyway, as I was saying, two people I know went. One of them said it was truly horrible, and that the only thing half decent was gob, who I'm not a big fan of. But I honestly feel that it's an understatement when she says horrible. The other person was absolutely in love with the concert. She came to school today dressed like Avril, with her hair all straight and one of those spiked wristbands that punks wear. But wait a minute, Avril Lavigne and punk? What the hell am I talking about?
Yes, Avril Lavigne is... wait, I need more room to say this:
Avril Lavigne is NOT punk.
It's so true. What makes her punk? Nothing at all. Can she play guitar? No. Does she believe in anarchy? Absolutely not. All she's done is bring back old trends attempting to make them popular, forcing her moronic fans to dress like her. Ties? It's been done. A long time ago. It's truly awful if you ask me. Avril Lavigne's music isn't even remotely punk. Look at her lyrics. About "sk8er bois" and other pathetic rubbish no one cares about. And before I go any further, Avril did not invent writing the word "skater" out with an 8, nor replacing the Y in "boy" with an I. It's been done. See, she takes old trends.
Moving along to her actual concert. I just checked what the prices were for the show. $105 - $295 Canadian for one ticket (that's roughly $70 to $200 American). Any idea how long her show is? For that amount of money, I'd expect two or three hours. But no. Her show was only one hour long. What a complete rip off. Couple weeks ago, my parents went to see Bruce Springsteen in concert. It was somewhere between 100 to 150 bucks Canadian for tickets. His concert was three hours long. Now, let's do some math here. Say you payed the mean price for those tickets, $200 Canadian. That'd be the same as paying one hundred dollars for each time she raised her arms. That's right. For the majortiy of the concert, she stood entirely still, only raising her arms twice. The newspaper here tried to defend her saying "this represents that she is a bored teen". Bored teen? I smell some bull. So, you're basically paying about 200 bucks to see someone stand there singing meaningless songs that suck for one hour. For that money, I could get a new amp or effect pedal for my guitar, and beat the living hell out of Avril with my awesomeness. What a waste.
But another thing I hate about avril is her fans. They're a bunch of idiots. They think they're punk as well, so they think they're all anti-government (also known as anarchy), and all these other false assumptions. People who like Avril think they're not conforming to the world and pop culture by wearing ties and stuff that Avril wears. But wait a minute, when you have so many people doing stuff like that, isn't it conforming then? Looks like your plan backfired. Sorry girls, you're just not as smart as you think you are. I was talking to my friend about this whole deal today, and he said this one chick claimed to be a huge Avril fan, being a punk and all that jazz. He asked her what she does that's against the government. Know what he got for a reply? Absolute silence. That's more moronic than shoving a bull horn in your nose only to be pierced to death.
So, what am I trying to say? Avril Lavigne sucks. Don't kid yourself. I hate her, and you should too. So next time you hear one of her songs, smash that radio. Next time you hear your friend raving about her, punch her (or him if he's some sort of freak) in the face. If she comes to your town, shoot her. I hope you share my hate with Avril, because they is plenty to go around. -THE END-
OMFG THIS AVRIL RANT IS EVEN BETTER CLICK CLICK!!!
Now that's what Orphy had to say, what I have to say is that not ALL Avril fans are extremely horrible. I had a reasonable debate with some Avril fan on an Avril message board. Some of the things I said in this debate aren't completely true like you can tell I took some things out of Orphy's essay, and if you're Liz you'll know we didn't have to watch that music video, but the facts about Avril are 100% true. mynameisKILLA = me bxverse = Avril fan
Here's how it went: (oh yeah, you have to read it from the bottom to the top)

Dear mynameisKILLA, (things in parenthesize and color are written by me)
i do agree on the fact as of late avril has been showing alot more skin, but at least shes not like britney + christina like wat they wear, not that im dissin them their quite talented. (they're talented??!!) And Avril also said in an interview thing on m.t.v that her style is kind of changing she startin to like some of the girlie things. Maybe but i guess u wouldnt know if she plays the guitar unless u were their, and also at least she sings live even though some times it sounds bad but it can also sound quite good.o.k i´ll give u that one.  .i meant her personallity towards life how she looks at things and doesnt care if her songs get to number 1. and the songs if u notice when everyone says they write their songs theirs always someone else who does it with them just check on the albums. also i was watchin the diary of avril lavigne on m.t.v and some of the songs on her new album was wirtten bye her and evan and also they always have to have some go through the songs to check them and change some of the lyrics just like in scripts. i agree that its pop rock like busted but 10x better because she doesnt perve over people like them.
And also iam sorry for telling u to get a life, it seems u have a decent one plus a very respectful person exspecially for checkin up on all this stuff before u post it.
And u cant say u hate avril because u dont know her, u just hate her image and music. (I hate her because she's a hypocrite, a liar, and a sell out) |

Oh yeah, and the reason I know so much about Avril Lavigne is because I want to have my facts straight before I go out and start bashing her. |

Dear bxverse,
I completely agree with you on the fact that Avril is good because she doesn´t have to flaunt her body to seel records. But I was recently trapped over my Avril-loving friend´s house, and she made me and my friend Liz watch that new Avril video "Happy Endings". And as a recent article stated, and I noticed, she is trying to pull off this new "sexy" look. Also you say she plays guitar but if you´ve seen any pictures of her live you´ll notice she´s never playing the guitar. That´s like trying to say that Britney Spears sings when she´s live. She doesn´t care about what people think huh? Well, how come whenver she´s in an interview and they say she is an extremely good pop star she IMEDIATELY jumps up and is like, "uhhh no no no, rock star, I´m not a pop star". Is that not caring about what other people think? You say she has a great personality. Have you ever met her? How would you know she has a great personality? She could be a super-biotch. And if you have met her then I´m sorry. She may write LYRICS about "true things" but once again, she doesn´t write her music. And her style is rock. But with all those catchy notes, and hooks you have to admit it´s pop. So we can agree that it´s pop-rock. Ok? Finally you tell me that I need to get a life. But I do have a life. I have many friends who love me for who I am. I get good grades. I don´t have any real enemies. And I´m learning to play guitar, and I skateboard pretty well. I have a good life in my opinion. Have a nice day. |

If you have any REAL reasons why Avril is a good artist and not just another cheap corporate-created "MTV capitolizing on the Blink-182 Johnny Knoxville hype" drone. Then E-mail me at NJDEVILS_70@msn.com And i want INTELLIGENT reasons. Nothing like "OMG U R STUPIT AVRIL IS DA BOMB STFU" I want ACTUAL reasons why she´s good. Oh yeah, and by the way, she doesn´t write her songs. If you look at her album you will be surprised to see how many song writers are involved. |

This is why I do not like Avril Lavigne:
1. Her music is POP, face it, it´s not punk. Real punk would be like The Sex Pistols, Pennywise, Bouncing Souls, and Cock Sparrer. She tries to say it´s punk through the way she dresses. Avril, the way you dress doesn´t change the fact that yuor music is pop.
2. She doesn´t play guitar. A couple of my friends went to one of her concerts and they said all she did was stand there, sing, and move her arms up twice.
3. She´s a hypocrite. In one interview Avril states that she is an excellent skateboarder, But in the next interview she says that she doesn´t really skateboard, the director for the video "Complicted" just wanted her to skateboard in the video.
4. Her fans. They think they are punk because they listen to her music, but they don´t even know what punk is. Do any of you retards believe in Anarchy?? Do you even know what Anarchy is?? What do you do that is against the government??
5. She´s a sell-out. Duh.
6. The first time you listen to her music, it sounds good. But after a trillion listens it´s sooooooo crappy. |
