Avril Lavigne Responds To The Critics

Mike Ross of the Edmonton Sun caught up with Avril Lavigne and asked the singer about the growing backlash against her, including claims that she’s manufactured, and that she’s claiming to be punk when she’s not. “That’s what happens when someone gets really big. Then everyone just tries to bring them down. Second of all, I never, ever claimed to be punk, thank you,” she laughed. “The media labelled me as punk. That was because I was a little teenage girl who came out and wasn’t the typical pop bubblegum little act. So everyone just like decided to label me punk because I was different and I had more of edge. OK, I’m not made up. I write my own songs. I’ve been doing music my whole life. I buy my own clothes. I say what I want. I make my own decisions. People don’t tell me what to do. They don’t tell me where to go. I do what I want to do. That’s bullsh**!”
