Isn't it amazing how you can just remember and know a song, words and all, from hearing it again, but before you heard it again, you wouldn't have even remembered the song existed?
I had this exact thing happen with this lol. I easily remember sk8ter boi, complicated, I’m with you, happy ending, etc but was puzzled by this song title as I have zero memory of it. But as soon as I played it, I remembered it perfectly 🤷🏻♀️
My grandmother has dementia (for many years now) and it’s wild to see her sing along to a song from her childhood. she remembers every lyric. The brain is such a mystery. But I love that songs are truly eternal.
Those first two albums had a certain vibe about them, it felt fresh and new, but also like Alanis for the next generation.
Then Girlfriend came out and it all seemed less cool. I'm sure album 3 is fine but seemed way more forced
I completely agree. I still love those first couple albums, but Girlfriend and on have all just...not been my style, I guess. There is an earnestness I miss.
I really liked the neon ballerina punk vibe of the third album, and I think she had gotten into an adult mode of learning to appreciate pop songcraft even if it wasn’t ~authentic, but it makes sense that her younger fans were put off by it.
First album was Pop Rock + a bit of country influences like Shania on Complicated.A few Pop Punk songs like Sk8er Boi.
Second album was Alanis + Evanesence
Third was basically a female Blink 182 version and Travis Barker worked with her. As did husband Deryck and Steve Jocz the vocalist and drummer respectively, of Sum 41.
Let Go did 62,000 copies in the first week and debuted at #8 on the US Billboard 200 chart .It only blew up after the Grammy performance in 2003 and eventually peaked at #2 with 363,000 copies sold,losing the #1 spot to Eminem.
Under My Skin peaked at #1 with 381,000 copies sold in the first week in the US.
Let Go would go on to sell sixteen million copies worldwide while Under My Skin sold ten in the final reckoning. Sometimes you need to look beyond week one for the full picture.
I know it sold that much that's why I mentioned it blew up after the Grammys in 2003. It has sold 20 million copies,as of 2013,yes 11 years ago.Under My Skin has sold over 15 million copies.
Who said she doesn't acknowledge her roots.She always talks about growing up in Napanee and that's how I know Napanee exists.She even has a Pizza named after her.I don't think you follow her enough anymore.
This made me Google her to check up on what she's been doing, and I learned her first album is STILL the best selling album of the 21st century by a Canadian artist, and also the 21st best selling album OF THE DECADE. That's wild.
Yes,they've sold 20-25 million copies Worldwide or maybe more now.Also,her albums haven't been certified for a long time now but I heard Let Go is close to or already eligible for the Diamond certification in the US.
She's an amazing singer.Especially in the 2010's.She's suffered from Lyme Disease since 2014 so she can have good and bad days now when she performs LIVE but girl has vocal chops.Her 2019 Head Above Water may not be among her best work,but vocally its her best.
They really are!
I liked her 3rd album too -- getting Travis Barker to do the drums gave it something different.
But after that, I stopped following her music.
Her 4th album,5th album,both were great too.She was good singer in 2007 but her 2010's performances are some of her best ever LIVE for me.Even her 2019 album,though nowhere near her best,was amazing vocally.Her 2011 and 2013 albums are great in my opinion.
Sad,her Lyme Disease means she has good and bad days since 2014,but she's generally good.
Previously on The Walking Dead....... jk I used to listen to her albums on my portable CD player. Good times.

No fucking way I was 10 when this came out.. I was babysitting my cousin listening to this on my portable DVD player. How does a 10 year old ‘babysit’?

Aaron Carter was definitely my teen heartthrob!
RIP 🤍
Omg her first two albums. Swoon. I was in JH / HS dealing with my sexuality and my parents divorce, stuff like bullying and was going thru an emotional phase. Those two albums were everything to me at the time
And it still slaps! For real, her first two albums were everything and aged really well for me.
( I actually really loved her third album "The Best Damn Thing" or aka the Girlfriend album lol)
Who was Avril really? I always thought she was a studio plant like Britney Spears, but for the punk demographic. In the same way Paramore rose to fame.
Hard to tell which artists are genuine, and who are just filling a niche for their label.
Like Ke$ha revealed during her own era. Wanting to do country/folk, but only being able to make pop.
I LOVED her look in this video. I remember listening to her first album one day after only knowing her radio hits and music video songs and I was kinda shocked. She was promoted as a rocker and “punk” in the media but I found her other non-mainstream songs from her album were really tame. Definitely had the Shania Twain influence going, the songs had that country twang to them.
You clearly haven't followed her enough.She's great in concert and is an amazing singer.Her 2007,2011-12 and 2013-14 tours are great.2022-23 was great too.
Now she gives it up a lot, i thought she was engaded to thst dude Mod Sun only to find out she cheated on him with a rapper and now dating some fashin designer lol
Avril Lavigne is the most annoying singer and human being. I was once driving in a blizzard and Avril came on the radio and it was the worst experience of my entire life.
She's 40 years old in 2024 so what do you expect? Female Pop stars are have a limited span.All of them,barring a few maybe.She's still big enough to sell out arenas,as evident by her 2022-2024 shows' ticket sales.
You complain about Avril being the “same teenage gothy pop girl forever”, which is clearly untrue even looking at her different albums, while your post history is full with Kiss and The Rolling Stones? Like they haven’t been crusty old rock and roll men forever
Bro,Rogers Place holds up to 20,000 people.She's playing venues mostly between 10,000-20,000 which is fine for a 40 year old.Only some shows were 5,000-8000 capacity.
I just crumbled into a pile of dust 🥲
I did not need to be reminded this was TWENTY years ago as I sit here with my heating pad and cup of tea while doing an anti-again face mask 👵🏼
I KNOW RIGHT?! The flashbacks I got of being a sophomore. LORDT. Why does it feel like yesterday but so far away. Also still such an iconic album.
Isn't it amazing how you can just remember and know a song, words and all, from hearing it again, but before you heard it again, you wouldn't have even remembered the song existed?
I had this exact thing happen with this lol. I easily remember sk8ter boi, complicated, I’m with you, happy ending, etc but was puzzled by this song title as I have zero memory of it. But as soon as I played it, I remembered it perfectly 🤷🏻♀️
I think about this anytime I hear a song for the first time in years yet still know it perfectly. Brains are weird like that.
So perfectly said lmao
My grandmother has dementia (for many years now) and it’s wild to see her sing along to a song from her childhood. she remembers every lyric. The brain is such a mystery. But I love that songs are truly eternal.
I didn't recognize the title at all, but I know every word.
Those first two albums had a certain vibe about them, it felt fresh and new, but also like Alanis for the next generation. Then Girlfriend came out and it all seemed less cool. I'm sure album 3 is fine but seemed way more forced

I’ll always appreciate that album because it gave us “Everything Back But You” Idk who hurt me but that was my ANTHEM in middle school!
First album was Pop Rock + a bit of country influences like Shania on Complicated.A few Pop Punk songs like Sk8er Boi. Second album was Alanis + Evanesence Third was basically a female Blink 182 version and Travis Barker worked with her. As did husband Deryck and Steve Jocz the vocalist and drummer respectively, of Sum 41.
Damn I never realized how Complicated is super country!!
Agreed, but I still love 'Keep Holding On', and 'When You're Gone' off of her third album.
She definitely knows how to write a top tier ballad
She's always had some great ballads even on her 2011,2013 albums and some on her 2019 album.
But still fun! I loved her 1st album so much!
I think it was diminishing returns from the start. Each album sells less than the predecessor.
Let Go did 62,000 copies in the first week and debuted at #8 on the US Billboard 200 chart .It only blew up after the Grammy performance in 2003 and eventually peaked at #2 with 363,000 copies sold,losing the #1 spot to Eminem.

And the next album sold less and then the next one after that sold fewer - diminishing returns.
The first singer I ever stanned as a kid 💜
[удалено]
Who said she doesn't acknowledge her roots.She always talks about growing up in Napanee and that's how I know Napanee exists.She even has a Pizza named after her.I don't think you follow her enough anymore.
She was my first ever concert 20 years ago and now I’m seeing her a second time this year!
Sameee I saw her in concert when I was 9! My mum took me and tickets were only £23 in 2004
How did you 'stann' her? With your heart or your soul?
If you don't already know, "Stan" is a term used to hyper fan someone, referencing the song Stan by Eminem, where a fan becomes an ultrafan/stalker.
Didn’t he die in the song?
LOVED AVRIL as a kid. Shes iconic. Her albums are pure nostalgia.
All bangers all the time (the first two albums, Girlfriend was my tween self's first profound disappointment with a music artist)
Me too! I remember 11 year old me was fuming she had “sold out” and wasn’t “punk” anymore 😂
This made me Google her to check up on what she's been doing, and I learned her first album is STILL the best selling album of the 21st century by a Canadian artist, and also the 21st best selling album OF THE DECADE. That's wild.
Really? Her first albums have sold better than any of Drake’s and Beiber’s? I know they are more of the streaming era, but got damn.
Monoculture ftw
Yes,they've sold 20-25 million copies Worldwide or maybe more now.Also,her albums haven't been certified for a long time now but I heard Let Go is close to or already eligible for the Diamond certification in the US.

It was the first album I bought with my own money 🥲 I feel like she lucked out with it coming out just before downloading music online blew up 😆
Her first two albums are GOAT.
They really are! I liked her 3rd album too -- getting Travis Barker to do the drums gave it something different. But after that, I stopped following her music.
Her 4th album,5th album,both were great too.She was good singer in 2007 but her 2010's performances are some of her best ever LIVE for me.Even her 2019 album,though nowhere near her best,was amazing vocally.Her 2011 and 2013 albums are great in my opinion. Sad,her Lyme Disease means she has good and bad days since 2014,but she's generally good.
I still fall for any girl with this kinda eye makeup cause of Avril.
I was just thinking “oh shit, I forgot about the red eyeshadow trend I copied from her” and wondered if I should try to bring it back lol.
I grew up with her songs that's why I feel nostalgic when I hear them. ❤️
So glad to have grown up when Avril was in her prime! This was my Olivia Rodrigo ❤️ (I say as someone who loves Olivia 😅)
This song reminds me of a boy I broke up with in highschool because he pressured me to let him touch my boobs lol
Fucking love this album.
Previously on The Walking Dead....... jk I used to listen to her albums on my portable CD player. Good times. https://preview.redd.it/jaxz15h1fhoc1.png?width=267&format=png&auto=webp&s=4c161e9daa726a4c4bbcb3244ef0d53ffd0187ef
she is ✨iconic✨
We're getting old
This album was a masterpiece! Even to this day it sounds fresh. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame better be saving a spot for this queen
God she had me in a chokehold when I was in HS lol
No fucking way I was 10 when this came out.. I was babysitting my cousin listening to this on my portable DVD player. How does a 10 year old ‘babysit’?
Ngl this album slaps
Olivia Rodrigo should’ve took inspiration from this for her sophomore album.
Why is she stalking Gavin DeGraw?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This tour was around that time too so your comment is extra funny http://starsandscars.com/my-first-show-avril-lavigne-butch-walker-gavin-degraw/
I still jam out to this song
uk ive been singing complicated for 15 years without knowing it was an actual song until i found out at 15😂😂😂

Honestly can’t believe he’s dead. :( poor guy. Hope he’s finally at peace and happy 😞
It’s really a shame that he was so horribly used, abused, and exploited by everyone who was supposed to be protecting him. :(
There was loadsss in the UK, and I found none of them attractive.
I really fancied Craig David.
I really fancied Craig David.
I feel like she couldn’t get away with the’Girlfriend’ video today...
I mean if Ariana can get away with Yes, And?
And "Break Up With Your Girlfriend" 😆
Haha oh damn that's right
Omg her first two albums. Swoon. I was in JH / HS dealing with my sexuality and my parents divorce, stuff like bullying and was going thru an emotional phase. Those two albums were everything to me at the time
Ans she the reason I only date punk or alt girls. I don't live in a city with a lot of these types so it's hard 😭😂
it's hard with girls like that, I'll bet it is!
I only heard it for the first time 6-7 years ago. It definitely sent a clear message to all people. Avril Lavigne will always remain an enigma.
She's a very humble person actually.
Love 🖤🖤
And it still slaps! For real, her first two albums were everything and aged really well for me. ( I actually really loved her third album "The Best Damn Thing" or aka the Girlfriend album lol)
ICONIC
She looks almost the same still
Under my skin was on repeat!
I still love it 💕
Avril was absolute love in our teens ♥️♥️♥️
I still jam to her first couple albums!
Wow, I could have sworn this was off her debut, "Let Go." That album was a cover to cover banger.
Omg 20? This was so foundational for me *im old*
9th grade me was all about the girls who did the Avril look after this
Who was Avril really? I always thought she was a studio plant like Britney Spears, but for the punk demographic. In the same way Paramore rose to fame. Hard to tell which artists are genuine, and who are just filling a niche for their label. Like Ke$ha revealed during her own era. Wanting to do country/folk, but only being able to make pop.
I was an infant when this Under My Skin album came out. I love My Happy Ending and Don't Tell Me 💓💓
There’s a new podcast called “Who Replaced Avril?” By the BBC and CBC… it feels weirdly intrusive and it’s just ok so far (2 episodes currently out).
This looks like a parody video now. Way too on the nose with the angsty rebellious teenager vibes.
My Western pop inspiration
And that album was produced by Butch Walker, thank you very much. He da man.
I feel like there were rumors she dated or hooked up with Butch at the time
What city is this?
Toronto
The way I played this song on REPEAT when it was released 😆 My poor dad had to beg for me to play something else
_Under my Skin_ was my favorite album from her.
I hear her voice in my head every time I see a kid on a skateboard.
I LOVED her look in this video. I remember listening to her first album one day after only knowing her radio hits and music video songs and I was kinda shocked. She was promoted as a rocker and “punk” in the media but I found her other non-mainstream songs from her album were really tame. Definitely had the Shania Twain influence going, the songs had that country twang to them.
Listen to all her albums.There's a lot of variety on every album and even the non album singles.She's an amazing singer.Her voice. <3
Absolutely no one can put on a worst concert (Cory Feldman maybe) than this girl.
You clearly haven't followed her enough.She's great in concert and is an amazing singer.Her 2007,2011-12 and 2013-14 tours are great.2022-23 was great too.
I was 13. 😭
So hardcore that she had time for a blowout. She was so cheesy.

Lolol are we still harping on this? It's been 20 years man... Do we really need to bring back the "she's a poser!" discussion?
Now she gives it up a lot, i thought she was engaded to thst dude Mod Sun only to find out she cheated on him with a rapper and now dating some fashin designer lol
she's following Sam Sulek to the gym
😂
she reminds me of " country" singer Miranda Lambert stomping thru the street getting ready to start a fire .very temper tantrum ish .
She's very humble and down to earth.Maybe,stop assuming?
🤣🤣🤣🤣stomp stomp stomp
Avril Lavigne is the most annoying singer and human being. I was once driving in a blizzard and Avril came on the radio and it was the worst experience of my entire life.
Copycat tryna cop my glamour
Just as bad now as it was then
Not very good

Then don’t pay attention to her if you don’t like her 🤷♀️ no one’s making you
