Avril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne is a Canadian singer and songwriter who rose to fame in the early 2000s with pop-punk hits like "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi." Her sound blended punk attitude with mainstream pop, influencing a generation of young listeners.

She became associated with a skater-girl aesthetic and teenage rebellion: I was obsessed with Avril Lavigne in middle school.
