Years ago, I went on a bus tour in Ireland and one night they had a "pub tour." This means they rented out the local pub, kicked out all the locals and made sure each tourist got a pint, some chips and a few good old Irish tunes for their 20 buck. The tourists were happy as clams.

Did they have a real experience of the pub? Nope. Did they understand what the pub was usually like? Not really. But they got to act like they did.

I think this is how the public views Avril. Do they experience actual punk music with Avril? Nope. Do they understand what punk actually is? Not really. But with avril, they get to act like they do.

Does Avril promote this idea of her being punk? No, but she doesn't do much to dispell it either. For some reason, the public sees her in a tie, flipping people off and they label it punk. I call it annoying 12-year-old behavior, but to each his own.
