Seeing her genuinely just happy being herself and being creatively free is so refreshing

[@Mariasilvinaaa]

It's called being in the industry for over 20 years and knowing how that really works. And do her own thing for honesty forever. She's so cool !!!

[@brentthompson1607]

If she updated her certifications she would join Taylor Swift with a diamond album and diamond single but she kept switching labels.

[@CarlosRodriguez-bh2ey]

I really think Avril can surprise everyone with this record. She's with Travis' label now and it seems like they gave her all the creative freedom she needed. I don't know if people realize that the "Avril Lavigne formula" is a real thing but it sucks to see it being applied to other artists when we still have Avril and she's the real deal...

[@katybug6572]

Oh wow I didn’t kno she was on Travis’ label now, that’s awesome.. I think they’ll make some great music together

[@brentthompson1607]

It's kind of like she is starting over her career as an alternative artist.

[@j_freed]

I think it’s a massive compliment if somebody cuts their own path and 10,000 people follow it… It’s like Patti Smith, Joan Jett, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nina Hagen, PJ Harvey… They largely did what the fuck they wanted and it created new maps of music in the world. Avril’s only problem may be that she doesn’t trust her instincts enough to take more chances. I think she has more in her.

[@andrew5222]

what does that even mean, "real deal". i feel like you people just parrot that phrase everywhere without ever even knowing what you're trying to talk about

[@richierich6732]

Avril and mod are faking their relationship.

[@renzgeffrey429]

I’m so happy she collaborated with alternative artists and created alternative music!! the commercial stuff was fun but hearing how much fun she’s had having creative control with everything on this record makes me excited!!

[@tessah.7641]

I like how she's able to talk about pop stars without putting them down, she just says that's not me but never shames them for being girly or more seductive like some punk/alt girls do. I really like that about her. She's humble.

[@maplelavigne]

I prayed for 16 years since Under My Skin came out for her to make a heavy album like that or a mix between Let go and Under My Skin vibes. I‘ve been with her since 2002 (I was 12 years old at that time) and she became my muse and my icon. I supported every single Avril‘s era, I basically grew up with her and every single album helped me a lot with a lot of personal experiences but I‘m glad she finally listened to us because I‘m sure I‘m not the only one who wanted more guitar and more “I don‘t give a fuck attitude“ songs. I‘m so happy for her cuz she gave me so much thru her music and I don‘t wanna sound corny or smh but she was actually my first live concert EVER when I was 12, then my second one at 14, and 16... and the list or going and going but yeap anyways. Thank you for this interview AND STREAM BITE ME CUZ AVRIL MOTHERFUCKING PRINCESS LAVIGNE IS BACK.

[@kekwayblaze3176]

In my opinion this new track; "Bite Me" could pass an unreleased track from "Under My Skin" album and sounds like Avril from that era. I agree with you too and also have wanted to hear Avril release new music much more heavy similar to her first two albums.

[@Buddychigo]

I've been a fan since 2002 too and I was also 12 at the time! 🥰 You don't know how happy I am to read your comment haha

[@ScubaSteve3560]

There's just something special about Under My Skin and I still listen to it almost every day. She really captured magic with that album

[@UltraViolet666]

I think this one will very much be like all of her first 3 albums.

[@ayaleea2071]

You exactly said what im about to say

[@Zimuahaha]

I want her to do an actual collab with Yungblud. When they performed I'm With You, I literally cried at how beautiful it was.

T T to the world of the world is a very good place to be a little bit ago and I hope that you are a great friend of mine and your for is very but in important

[@xPaLmaaHx]

This is so exciting, poppunk and rock are coming back... I mean we have all these great artist like ModSun, Machine gun kelly, Willow, Travis, Avril, Yungblud, being all friends and helping each other and making groundbreaking resurface of the pop punk in this new decade! On the other hand other rock bands are coming back stronger than ever like Evanescence, Halestorm, Pretty Reckless all these girls rocking the hell out! This is such a good time to be alive and re experience everything with a new energy. I'm so glad for what's about to happend in the rock pop and punk scene!!

[@hisokakek]

Pop punk hasnt went no where, the scene was really strong in the early 2010s

[@xPaLmaaHx]

@@hisokakek that was 10 yeas ago. Now its coming back stronger. Nor poppunk nor rock has ever died but they did stay away from the spotlight or mainsteam and it feels like is coming back in that sense. Being on younger generations minds and playlist again and not just with all the 25+ year old audience.

[@hisokakek]

@@xPaLmaaHx I'm speaking more on the quality of the music as opposed to the mainstream appeal, obviously if you have bigger names making music with guitars then it's going to appeal to a mainstream audience more.
