A
whiny crybaby from Canada who, like Britney Spears, is just corporate garbage for the masses. She sold her soul to MTV and the radio, yet she still passes as an "artist" and a "very talented person". She has this "my life sucks and no one understands me" attitude on a lot of her songs, not unlike Good Charlotte or Simple Plan.
2004's Under My Skin shows her trying to do a few things that she isn't as well-known for on the music side, yet her lyrics still sound like they came from a grounded teenager who doesn't get to take the car out for the weekend. She should've been a one-hit wonder like
Right Said Fred or at least a small industry plant, but is far from one and has had at least
five top 10 hits as of 2007 ("Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "My Happy Ending", "I'm with You" and "Girlfriend"). Her songs tend to be relatable for spoilt teens who don't really have that many problems and are too
shallow for their own good. Avril may, at times, just be a pure ammuition for when boomers complain about what Generation Y listens to or what Generation Z listens to.
