Avril Lavigne for Kids

Avril Lavigne arrived at a moment when many kids (especially girls) were quietly trying to figure themselves out. Could you be emotional and strong? Messy and confident? Girly and rebellious? Avril answered those questions with her guitar.

Her music is catchy, emotional, and real, full of the kinds of feelings that come with growing up, figuring yourself out, and not always fitting in. Even when some people didn’t quite “get” her mix of punk attitude and girly flair, her fans connected instantly. And that connection sparked something bigger: a whole generation picking up guitars, writing songs, and expressing themselves more freely.
