Never heard of her... Could be me, of course

Maybe she is doing some more research for her single "My Happy Ending"

[Rykbanlor]

And the word punk appears next to her name because......?

[petedk]

Let's see what damage she does to Thailand's image.

[tubby johnson]

She is punk? ..... seriously?

[bonobo]

Punk?

In what way are her songs anything close to punk? Strictly pop.

Just because she wears heavy eye liner, used to wear black clothes, and hung out with the skater crowd in high school does not make her punk. Her music is what defines her, and it is decidedly not punk. She has even denied being punk when asked.

Really? She's huge right now. For the past 13 years actually.

Actually, her music is classified correctly. Punk doesn't mean what it did 30 years ago. She is part of the modern day punk movement.

She herself has vehemently denied being a punk artist, but regardless. I have a good number of her songs on my iPod, although most have gravitated off my main play list over the years.

For modern punk, I would look to Green Day, Blink-182, and The Living End.

Can you give me a quote where she has denied it? I am a fan and have never heard that.

Google "is Avril Lavigne punk" and you'll get a YouTube and other links.

She dresses somewhat punk but her music is completely pop.

I've never heard of her either and I'm Canadian. She looks hot though.

[Sakeopete]

Wow great news I am so going!

[geovalin]

one of the best song of the century

[Thaddeus]

I do like some of her stuff......

But it's Pop and not Punk.

[morocco]

she is just a product.and so is the music. a bit embarrassed that she is considered Canadian punker. but nowhere as embarrassing as bieber

[jdinasia]

She was here in 2005. (so 9 years not 13 as stated in the second line of the article)

[JoeThePoster]

My Happy Ending

That evergreen hit!

I think she more of an Ontario east coast celeb, I've actually by mistake ended up in Napanee where she grew up even the Timmy's has a table named for her.

With all the great talent, Anne Murray, Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Bryan Adams, Twain, Dion, Buble, KD Lang, Rush, Leonard Cohen, Bare Naked Ladies just to name a few and now the Biebs being famous is beyond me, a train wreck waiting to happen.

[Patsycat]

I prefer her husband.

[canuckamuck]

Don't really like pop, but her voice is outstanding.

Biebs is double O gauge.

Oh who, Oh why.
