avril lavigneOh dear. Avril Lavigne seems to be the thing at the moment. Understandably pop-weary adolescents love her. Many, many jaded post-adolescents can't stand her. One of my favourite websites, b3ta has taken a very strong dislike to her. It's all getting to be a bit ridiculous. I'm not denying that Sk8ter Boi is utter shite, or that her other song isn't a blantant bastardization of everything Alanis Morissette ever did (I like Alanis, if only for the thought that if I just got her to say "I dunno," a bucket of green slime might get magically dumped on her head). But I am a bit torn. Avril was born in Belleville, you see. She grew up in Napanee, a, er, quaint little skater-infested town. Honestly, the way the local paper had taken to her is really pretty adorable. So I'm torn. I kind of want to defend her, because I really don't think she's a manufactured phony. But on the other hand, I still hate her music. comments:
