Really interesting thread. haha Well, my old friends are used to me being a big fan of hers, but recent friends find it strange, seeing other bands I listen to (I'm an "obscure" guy, I basically listen to Alternative Rock, shoegaze/dream rock and post-hardcore) and my general style and vibe, but as soon they see how much I love her and how much she's important to my musical identity it's ok. In my group of friends,every time someone sees something Avril-related, they send it right away for me, it's like they remember me everytime they see her. It means the world to me to be honest.

My friends all know and don't really care, they know I'm pretty obsessed with different types of music. I do get some mocking but that's the kind of people we are. My nickname ("Muv") is often changed to Muvril Ravigne in jest and my solo music project "Muvril & The Ravignes" is of course a homage to Avril, although my music is nothing like hers (...or like anything for that matter lol) The closest I've been to sounding like Avril is doing a cover of Weird Al's "A Complicated Song" at a local gig

Well in 8th grade we has to share our favourite musicians - all the girls said Justin Bieber or Selena. I was last and went with Avril and the reaction was positive and I promoted BA. My best friend started to listen to her.
And my family knows. Especially my sisters. I've also told them about the forum here. Which is my social life. So no bad comments or mocking me for "loving" her. I belive most everyone growing up during 00''s has her as their teen nostalgia.

My friends think it's pretty normal cause when they met me, they knew I was an Avril fan. Sometimes someone asks: Are you still into Avril that much? And when I say: Yeah ofcourse, they're like: Oh yeah ofcourse you do Even my boyfriend started listening to her music when I wasn't home, to find out what insipired me and he kinda likes it too. But he wouldn't attend a concert so i would go with a random hardcore fan, cause none of my friends started listening to her and I bet they don't wanna wait a whole day just to get first row at her concert (and they don't wanna pay 220 Euro's for a VIP ticket wich I did in 2008)

I had a friend who liked Avril but 2 years later in 2013 she was over her. Most of my classmates don't even know I like Avril, they think I'm a very big Taylor fan (even when I started to listen to her 2 years ago). My mom doesn't care who I like and listen to. I annoy her with Rihanna because it's funny to put her name into every conversation.

My family and friends don't care. But my sister has begun calling me emo upon re-discovering Avril and eyeliner.

My family and friends have always been supportive. When Girlfriend was released, my school had organized a contest, where we had to reenact a music video, and my friends and I picked Girlfriend, and they wanted me to play Avril (I was so excited) - unfortunately my teacher forbid us, because she didn't like it. They always put some Avril's songs when we're in the same car.

Great question. Back in high school it was nothing special, everyone knew her and most of the class liked at least some of her songs. My mom always called me up (or out to the kitchen) when she heard Avril in the radio. She never could pronounce Avril's name but she told me that it's my favourite singer who is on the radio now. She was so cute. My little sisters haven't had a choice, I listened to her all day and night so they had to love Avril too Interesting fact: some years ago I met a guy. He was the first LBS guy I met, Avril the first thing we were talking about. We became best friends - I mean the bestest friends (no sexuality, just friends), we made a band etc. 2 years later he told me he fell in love with me. 3 years later we married (2016. 01. 23. - tomorrow is our first jubilee, wow, I didn't realise it until NOW ); and now we have a 6 months old LBS boy <3

My friends bought me the AL cd for Christmas in 2013, I bought it digitally on the day Nov 1, but having a physical copy of an album has a special meaning to me. Probably because buying cds at the store isn't as common anymore lol. but yeah I didn't really mention Avril's name for a while when the hk video dropped because... well and i also didn't want to deal with comments on how it's "racist" and "cringey" but I love Avril she and her music has helped me through really dark times so now there's nothing to be ashamed of. (Sorry for the long story lol)

Was your wedding song an Avril song? Yes of course! I picked the songs - 45 minutes long CD - for the ceremony. It was Avril all along the whole ceremony. But of course at night when the party began there were other artists too. I picked the most beautiful Avril instrumentals for the ceremony. When I came into the room the song was I'm With You and when we did put the rings up it was How Does It Feel. That instrumental was breathtakingly beautiful with that special moment
