A lot of this kind of music was called punk back then. Later musicologist compared the early 2000s pop with Sex Pistols and Nina Hagan and were like.... "wait a minute?.... this is not the same thing" so pop-punk is often used now. Also, EMO has broadened and loosened its definition over time.
calling yourself not punk rock is about the most punk rock thing your can do. I just gained so much respect for this girl in the last minute and five seconds its unbelievable.
+Dynamic Menace she actually said in an interview that only 1 or 2 times people actually helped her to write songs.. there's also a documentary which shows her while she was writing her songs
Well she was pretty young here. A lot of her earlier interview's weren't that great in my opinion. She always seemed shy in them and never really showed any enthusiasm or anything in them. She was pretty nonchalant in interview's back then. If you watch later interview's of her you'll see she got much better over time.
Why was she about to cry? In the beginning when she said ppl label her punk & she says she's not, she seemed upset. Poor girl(I'm not into her music, but at least she has talent!) That would suck having to deal with ppl obsessed with labels. Most of these comments seem like a huge argument about what's punk-Punk is attitude. It's not clothes or hair or even playing an instrument, it's all out Do-It-Yourself Attitude! I know old ladies who are more punk than "punk"! My music is trash rock bcuz I quite literally live on trash-groundscoring, dumpster diving,etc.,but punk is a big part of it(as is "grunge"). Who cares what it's called-if ppl are too busy bickering about labels, then they'll just miss the show! So screw it, ROCKNROLL! -Coyote (Knute Lindstrom)
The amount of music snobs in this comment section is mind blowing. You can listen to a variety of different genres of music and yet not be a snob, if you think your "superior" taste in music gives you the right to be so cruel to artists then i am sorry to say you never understood the essence of being a music lover. Have some shame and remember it's cruelty like this that made artists like Chester Bennington commit suicide. People truly have no remorse. Live and let live, proving your music taste is superior and fanning your narcissism by ripping people apart is nothing to be proud of.
Just know that Just a little bit more than you can imagine and I hope that I am not sure what you are doing or what I want you all do for you to be able to get a good feel for the place you want to know how you know what's happening 😊
She’s just a small town girl from Napanee who went to the big city to make a name for herself with a talent for singing and writing songs who didn’t try to sell sex or dress like everyone else and ya know what I’d say that’s a little punk
@ciao214Z Oh yeah, the Ramones and the Clash and Sex Pistols were real Punk… AY! OH! LETS GO! Should I stay or should I go? Sex Pistols were a boy band/product of the record label… LMAO!!! 🤣🤡
@ciao214ZThat's why punk dead, went from dont-give-a-fuck rebellious movement of youth to boomer lecturing/ bullying young new comers, cooperate with the boomer ruled scene, validation seeking and obey tons of rules, (and maybe learn how to pronounce David Bowie correctly? Yeah so punk) Poser hunting farce on Avril is the historical moment you know punk is overed
Sex pistols was 70's one direction lolz just joking, they were commercial but at least their music was raw and provocative, and musically more enjoyable. Ramones I never get how can they be so overrated, there are definitly some hypocrisy and double standard here
Yeah, it's called "Fake punk" because that's what punk was about . It was trying to escape from the mainstream that was dominating in the 60s and 70s. Pop Punk was/is just the mainstream labels trying to sell music to impressionable teens. Keep in mind, I don't hate pop punk, at least not the early stuff from the late 90s to about 2003-2004 but I'm just being real here. That's why authentic punk fans really loathe Pop punk.
Well her music does definitely sound punk and the lyrics point to it as well, but your image doesn't have to be punk. But punk music is the BEST kind of music! She should take pride in her inner punk
My sister saw an article a while back that said that she faked her "tomboy style", and how she wanted to do it for the industry because that's what was "in." I wonder if it's true, why do people have to lie or be so two-faced?
that's what they do in the business. its called publicity. all publicity whether its positive or negative its still good publicity. basic marketing stunt.
So you just read a random article and believed it? Jumped to conclusions and passed your judgement? People in the media say all sorts of crap, not everything is true. She was a teenager, probably a tomboy, later as she matured her style changed. Ask me, I was a tomboy during my teens because i grew up with brothers but slowly as i grew up and started exploring i realized i really liked pretty girly clothes, i just never thought i was pretty enough to pull them off, as i gathered more self confidence i started wearing the clothes i actually liked. People go through all sorts of phases, they change, their style changes, doesn't mean they were fake.
I don't know why people labeled her that way. Her Sk8ter boy album had alot of different genres. Some songs sounded somewhat rap-like and even country sounding!
@@A2Z83 he is actually doing better. Sure he had drinking issues but that was way after the divorce, which was one of the reasons he did drink so much. When they broke up, it was super toxic or full of hate. It just didn't work out. I remember hearing an interview and she said she wasn't ready for marriage. They are still friends and worked together in the music industry.
@jerryonlysucks iggy pop and the stooges came out in the late 60's. they werent really labeled "punk" at first, cuz it wasn't really a genre yet, but they pretty much were
Dude i totally agree. That's what i said yesterday. On her live performances when she was younger, she sings deeper and with a rhaspier voice. I think that would have made her songs sound better if she sang like that on her albums.
Remember when every girl wanted to look like Avril Lavigne,Hayley Williams,Demi Lovato,Stevie Nicks,Lzzy Hale,Taylor Swift,Joan Jett,Selena Gomez and Amy Lee Instead of the fake and plastic Kardashians,Jenners,Cardi B,Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaj Those were the days People now are fake and plastic
I have read that she said just is a girl who dresses to feel good .. the clothes not means a culture punk, rock, etc.. Is how somebody like to wear clothes not more.. I dont believe in rockers, punkers, emos's cultures .. just is a girl who uses clothes feels good and she likes it not for styles of rock and punk like everybody. She is amazin, her song are amazing She is my idol... avril forever
Isn't avril just a pop star for the kids looking to be antipop? I mean how much can you really expect from a pop star? I respect pop stars, but they aren't artists or anything. They are just actors.
haha she labeled herself punk. i would hope most ppl are not dumb enough to label her punk. biggest 2-faced poser of all time, as demonstrated by the following quote: "I created Punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. That's what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation." - Avril lolololol
well you can google the quote and it comes up on about 20 different websites lol sorry i couldn't find it published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. they don't seem to be interested in preppy posers like avril lavigne lol plus i've seen countless videos of her saying similar things while watching mtv back in the day. even if she didn't say that quote (which she did), she's still the biggest poser of all time and that's obvious to almost everyone who knows what real punk is, or even just what real rock is since her music is actually country pop. It's not even about her shitty music. It's about her trying way too hard to be someone she's not and then trying to take it back acting like she has no idea where people got this idea she was trying to be punk and hardcore. Uhh cuz you said it yourself AND try to dress and act that way so what do u expect people to say...
lol the funny thing is avril is probably more punk then Sid vicious cus Sid didn't even play bass. They would unplug it for shows and hopefully he would put on a show by spitting on the audience or cutting himself on stage. Cus we all know thats super punk rawk. lol sex pistols suck.. i just wanna throw that out there. Paradise666 im really curious what kind of music your into? i think your just at the age where you judge shit and think your a troo punk because you listen to rancid
Greg Wilhide I don't disagree about Sid Vicious. He was more about trying to portray an image than a good musician (if a musician at all). I think that's common knowledge. I'm actually almost 30 years old in case you're curious (which it appears you ARE extremely curious about my life and have taken it upon yourself to assume a lot of details about my life lol which is just a tad creep status) I actually don't even listen to punk. I think punk rock is pretty fucking shitty actually. I listen to an array of music: many genres of metal (no, not that progressive "hardcore" stretched out earring tattoo sleeve poser metal lol - more like thrash, grind, technical, etc.), blues/soul/funk, classic rock, oldies, techno/house, etc. Anything that is good and requires talent and originality I can appreciate--someone trying to be someone they're not I cannot respect. And for the record, Rancid is pretty fucking gay. I don't listen to that shit fyi. Sorry I don't listen to kitty kitty bang bang or whatever that song is that avril sings. i'm pretty sure nobody in their right mind would listen to that poppy bullshit. i am pretty judgmental i will admit BUT if you're admitting you listen to this poppy avril lavigne kitty kitty music and it sounds like your middle-aged since you're calling me young haha that is a little creepy...
Paradise666ify lol sorry, paradise. I grew up on punk/hardcore 90semo(fugazi, Sunny day real estate) and yeah the only kind of metal i like is thrash. The thing is im 22, and i rememebr going through life being a bitter judging asshole because of how punk was portrayed to people and i use to be one of those fucks who would ramble how punk ISNT avril lavigne or some shit like that... but now when i look back on it, and i really think about it... She was a 15 year old girl getting a record deal. A young girl who looked up to country artist and was getting into other stuff that was kinda that would appeal to her age. The early 2000s skater/pop entry level mtv punk and all those canada skate punk bands from her area.. I guess what im trying to say can you really hate a 15-17 girl for being labled punk by the media because of her background. Of course theres going to be butthurt TROO PUNK kids but fuck em... people just need to think about this stuff. Sorry again im just a dude whos getting nostalgic over a cheesy pop/wanna be punk girl from 2002. Also a funny side note is one of her original bassist was in a famous punk hardcore band called Grade from canada. if i could i travel back to 02 and bring all my classic punk records like the descendants or something and then avril and i can sk8 off and crash malls like cool kids while singing complicated.
Seems like she listened to the song Boxcar by Jawbreaker before doing this interview. Read the lyrics of that song and you will get what Avril actually means. She never did claim that she's punk. She only claimed that she loves punk rock music and her music is Punk Rock inspired. there's a big difference. 1 2 3 4 Who's punk and what's the score?
ppl leave her alone she's aloud to do whatever she wants to do!!!!!!!!!! if u dont like her just stop looking/listenning her vids or music!! cuz u would b waisting ur time for nothin
@Hoppus217 No thats where your wrong. She wrote Breakaway(the song kelly clarkson sung), Girlfriend, Alice, My Happy Ending, Sk8er Boi, Keep Holding On, and lots more. And she plays the guitar and piano so don't give me that crap about how she doesn't play a instrument!
true punks don't label them selves i don't like avril but at least she had the guts to come out and say "i'm not punk" she plays what feels right and she does NOT label herself and I respect her for that
@sebbanpunk they already did. billie joe armstrong once said "punk is dead and i fucking killed it", wich actually means the same as "we are not a punk band". that even means that with their music the attention to real punk bands like dead kennedys and sex pistols slightly got less and it got forgotten by most people.
@lancelking I seriosuly cannot understand why some poeple hate her like you do, she's true to herself, she never liked labeling herself, and never did, it's what other people did to her. It's the media (press, tv) that was caling her punk, not herself. She's just here to play her music and have fun. And what's so bad about dressing in converse and punkyish clothes? that's just her style/attitude. doesn't mean her music has to be punk. Oh, and she's definitely not ugly, far from it.
I like this chic more every day and no Jealousy cause I was singer in a band in the 80's and early 90's I know what shes saying..If I hadn't become a father Id be Dead..
@cky283 You hated her back then? She wasn't a poser. She was the way she was. She's nothing like that now. But it's been almost 10 years. It's easy to expect a huge difference.
1-say a girl or a boys name you want to be with 2 times 2-say ur bestfriends name 5 times 3-post this on 4 other musics 4-press F8 5-you will see ur crushes name
she's not punk, she's complicated
No she is just pop rock. It's not that complicated.
@@PaulA-fp3vs you don't get it do you? Remember her song "complicated"
it's dark
She' s a crazy girl...
She’s pop country
It's pop rock not punk...

No, its pop punk, use your brain
Avril lavign is pop rock queen
Avril's genre is pop rock (and pop punk) but NOT punk rock.
I've always thought of her as pop.
She can be punk in the attitude but her music is Rock/Pop, I love her the way she is!
L L to have the opportunity ✨🙏💛
her voice is so hot
You're so nasty
@@jupsilvam Jealous?
HER VOICE IS NOT HOT DICK
Really? Her voice sounds all over the place,she’s practically mumbling,how is that sexy ? Tf
@@retrolightz4687 Nobody is jealous you pos loser.
Thank you for posting this!
It pisses me off when people think she's a poser when she was never trying to be something she's not.
“Pop punk princess” pop punk is a whole diffrent thing to just punk
she is really down to earth loved avril back then
To everyone saying that she's lying:
There's a difference between skater-rocker style and punk.
*Learn it.*
she low key sounds like a 2000s Billie Eilish lmao
True
That's because Billie is her fan
No where near
@@asiapope6040 honey are you dumb? She sounds just like Billie.? Are you dumb?
@@epichighslowsofhighschoolf3074 that's because billie want to be avril lmaoo
She's not punk, but I do like her. She's her own person
At least she is more punk than 5sos
how was she a sell out? she has always tried to stay true to herself
The only thing that I can be in to make is a
calling yourself not punk rock is about the most punk rock thing your can do. I just gained so much respect for this girl in the last minute and five seconds its unbelievable.
Just got back from work and got to work and I am not a fan but you are a good friend and a great idea and it 😊🙂
@ciao214ZI believe it is but some people are just born punks and are naturally that way i guess
she has like the most beautiful voice ever live
I'm not like.. punk...like....okay....like no....but...
This is so articulate!

me talking to anyone
Avril never really liked the fame part,she loved making music though. She was really young here.
she was 17/18
"I'm like, you know, so... like... I'm not punk".
I agree, honey. First time I agree with you on anything wholeheartedly.
....meh
Dr Wolfenstein weirdo
she amazing
everybody who likes her songs, knows that she is a rock pop singer. media decided to label her as punk.
Haters are really stupid. She's amazing and she's not punk, she's just herself.
U know what I think about you guys and how 🤔😏😌😉😕😔🤔
I like her music she shows strong emotions in her music ♥️♥️♥️

Avril Lavinge: " im not punk"
Me : " You don't say...?"
XD ahhaha
Wow. Profound.
i love this girl
Her voice here sounds so dramatically different to her voice in new interviews!!
She's pure pop and always has been. You want punk, go listen to Sex Pistols or Social Distortion.
Love U Avril
IT'S IN AVRIL LAVIGNE'S HEART! AND HER CONVERSE SHOES ARE FUCKING DISGUSTING!
Yeah yeah happening yeah yeah
I love her.😍
THANK TO GOD I GOT SOME RESPECT FOR HER NOW
She’s just a small town girl from Napanee who went to the big city to make a name for herself with a talent for singing and writing songs who didn’t try to sell sex or dress like everyone else and ya know what I’d say that’s a little punk
@ciao214Z and what era was that
@ciao214Z Oh yeah, the Ramones and the Clash and Sex Pistols were real Punk… AY! OH! LETS GO! Should I stay or should I go? Sex Pistols were a boy band/product of the record label… LMAO!!! 🤣🤡

Poser hunting farce on Avril is the historical moment you know punk is overed
Sex pistols was 70's one direction lolz just joking, they were commercial but at least their music was raw and provocative, and musically more enjoyable. Ramones I never get how can they be so overrated, there are definitly some hypocrisy and double standard here
this is just pop punk
Which is a form of punk. It's an oxymoron, but it's still punk at a mainstream level.
+Jalia Brodie yes, im with you.
Yeah, it's called "Fake punk" because that's what punk was about . It was trying to escape from the mainstream that was dominating in the 60s and 70s.

Nope, it's called emo
Thomas Isola, pop punk is older punk like buzzcocks or Richard hell. This is emo
she's pop-punk..
aw I love avril
good, i'm glad she cleared this up. As part of the REAL underground punk scene, this used to really piss us off
i really love avril style
Well her music does definitely sound punk and the lyrics point to it as well, but your image doesn't have to be punk. But punk music is the BEST kind of music! She should take pride in her inner punk
Are you being sarcastic
I like this avril lavigne soooo much more than the old one, her music back than was way more powerful!
Ummm,did you even watch the video ? This is the old Avril,wtf
This was during her Sk8er boy era
i wanna be like her!! *O*
A poser ?
All of us would have liked to have a girlfriend like Avril, when we were young. But I'm pretty sure I would have been desperately friendzoned😊
The love of your life that is a very popular ffffff and the ffffff of the world
She sounds so different than different interviews
She had a Canadian accent,she lost it over the years.
AND AVRIL ROCKS!!!!
She's pop punk.
Check out Municipal Waste. Then come back here and explain how Avril's music is punk.
Municipal Waste is a crossover thrash metal band not a straight forward punk band.
The way she acts like Billie but without the blaccent
Nah, Billie doesn’t have a blaccent. She has a urban white girl accent.
Avril made Billie, wdym she acts like her? this is was in 2002, was Billie even born then?😭 LMAO
Avril is so pretty !
This interview is so embarrassing. She's trying so hard to be punk, and than acts like she's not trying.
she's just saying that she isn't punk! Lol
i know lmao, like if you hate punk so much why did u dress like it, act like it, talk like it, and marry a pop punk band's lead singer... like..
When the heck did she say that she hates punk?
Turn on the brain before speaking
btw, I'm here by accident, I hate this bitch. Just sayin'
i didn't say she said it, it's called exaggerating

true dude.thats why i love her.
you deserve a cookie
she reminds me of kristen stewart kinda
My sister saw an article a while back that said that she faked her "tomboy style", and how she wanted to do it for the industry because that's what was "in." I wonder if it's true, why do people have to lie or be so two-faced?
It wouldn't be hard to believe considering her total 180 in style when "The Best Damn Thing" came out.
that's what they do in the business. its called publicity. all publicity whether its positive or negative its still good publicity. basic marketing stunt.
So you just read a random article and believed it? Jumped to conclusions and passed your judgement? People in the media say all sorts of crap, not everything is true. She was a teenager, probably a tomboy, later as she matured her style changed.

Of course theres going to be butthurt TROO PUNK kids but fuck em... people just need to think about this stuff. Sorry again im just a dude whos getting nostalgic over a cheesy pop/wanna be punk girl from 2002. Also a funny side note is one of her original bassist was in a famous punk hardcore band called Grade from canada. if i could i travel back to 02 and bring all my classic punk records like the descendants or something and then avril and i can sk8 off and crash malls like cool kids while singing complicated.
what a relief
Seems like she listened to the song Boxcar by Jawbreaker before doing this interview. Read the lyrics of that song and you will get what Avril actually means. She never did claim that she's punk. She only claimed that she loves punk rock music and her music is Punk Rock inspired. there's a big difference. 1 2 3 4 Who's punk and what's the score?
It is not punk, not emo, not skate, she has her own style and for that I love, is the best
Avril is pop.
IDK I just wrote it with out thinking but she is and alway will be awsome.
ppl leave her alone she's aloud to do whatever she wants to do!!!!!!!!!! if u dont like her just stop looking/listenning her vids or music!! cuz u would b waisting ur time for nothin
@Hoppus217 No thats where your wrong. She wrote Breakaway(the song kelly clarkson sung), Girlfriend, Alice, My Happy Ending, Sk8er Boi, Keep Holding On, and lots more. And she plays the guitar and piano so don't give me that crap about how she doesn't play a instrument!
yeah!!! I'm agree with you!!!
this was in 2006. 2 years later she turns up with the Best Damn Thing and completes the package with pink hair and punk princess dresses
true punks don't label them selves i don't like avril but at least she had the guts to come out and say "i'm not punk" she plays what feels right and she does NOT label herself and I respect her for that
H H H best blackjack games 🎮👏ffffff of all
Right on.
yeah avril u r right, I liked to know this I love ya I don't know why but I love ya
Love to have the kids and I miss ❤💕💗💓♥😌❤💕try and make a decision when
@sebbanpunk they already did. billie joe armstrong once said "punk is dead and i fucking killed it", wich actually means the same as "we are not a punk band". that even means that with their music the attention to real punk bands like dead kennedys and sex pistols slightly got less and it got forgotten by most people.
She's almost right, shes POP!
love avril lavigne fav artist but I never thought she was punk my sister did but I didnt she's to awsome to be punk
avril
you have it right thank you
T is a great place for you and I hope 🙏❤💙
Rock..avril
Well, you can't hate her for making it clear that she's not punk.. and that's cool
her accent is so strong in this...
@ChAllanz No no, that's from another thing. Feel free to google it if you want, I only saw it on a website I go to a lot.
Still love u avril in 2024
@YoungCuzzC4L what are you saying the clash didn't have a message?
so true ^^
@lancelking I seriosuly cannot understand why some poeple hate her like you do, she's true to herself, she never liked labeling herself, and never did, it's what other people did to her. It's the media (press, tv) that was caling her punk, not herself. She's just here to play her music and have fun. And what's so bad about dressing in converse and punkyish clothes? that's just her style/attitude. doesn't mean her music has to be punk. Oh, and she's definitely not ugly, far from it.
I like this chic more every day and no Jealousy cause I was singer in a band in the 80's and early 90's I know what shes saying..If I hadn't become a father Id be Dead..
@cky283 You hated her back then? She wasn't a poser. She was the way she was. She's nothing like that now. But it's been almost 10 years. It's easy to expect a huge difference.
"and im like not punk, and im like ok, and people are like im punk and my fans are like, omg"
