I haven't had all the boy drama Avril sings about in a lot of the previous and new songs, so lyrically, many of the songs doesn't touch me in the way others feel. I had other struggles like my mother is sick, and I went through hell through my whole childhood and teenage years, so many of her songs helped me to get through it all. But for me it's also nice to just be a fan. Esepcially through my weakest days when my mother is really bad or when I used to be at the bottom it was nice to just get away from your own life and your struggles and focus on Avril's songs or interviews and stuff like that. Like things to keep you busy

It depends on the album. When I hear GL I'm a little bit sad but I feel like I'm home. TBDT I'm more happy and energetic. UMS I am really upset and angry. LG is like home too. AL is too diverse to have 1 feeling through the whole album. At first you're happy and then you're sexy amd at the end you're sad.

It's not saying goodbye that's hard. It's letting go.

Her music helps me deal with life's struggles better and see things with another perspective. It's also catchy and almost always, puts me in a better mood whenever I'm sad.

Okay, firstly I want to say that I just found out about this new version of Bandaids, and that it's been way too long. I'm very sorry to admit that I'm actually not that big of an Avril fan anymore, but this thread kinda made me think about it.
I used to be obsessed with Avril. With her music, her style, her personality. She meant everything to me. Hers was what made me get into music. And I don't just mean the 'casually enjoying some songs by some artist' way of being into music. I mean like actually learning the lyrics to every song, buying every cd, going to concerts, anticipating new releases, following her every move, being in a fandom. Being part of the Bandaids community, which taught me many things about the music industry. She made me develop my own style, and made me feel confident about it. I think it is so so very important for a kid to discover their own style and to be confident. I truly believe that ultimitaly I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for Avril. And trust me, the fact that I have kind of "matured" and that I don't listen to her music that often anymore, doesn't mean I don't like her anymore. I have just listened to a bunch of her songs again and it just takes me back to the many times I've been sat in my room, listening to all of her albums and unreleased songs, collecting magazine clippings of her face. I still know all the lyrics.
To answer your question: listening to Avril Lavigne made me feel utterly happy as a kid. As a teen as well. I'm 19 now, I'm still a kid. It hasn't even been that long since I was obsessively listening to her music. But a lot has changed since then, I am living an entirely different life. Right now, listening to Avril Lavigne makes me wish nothing has changed at all.

Her music makes me feel calm in many ways even though it's up beat haha, I'm glad that I discovered her.
The feeling is different when I got to hear any Avril songs.

It brings me back to my junior high and freshman year of high school, which wasn't at all a pleasant time for me. But for some strange reason I found myself nostalgic for those years when 4 years back all of a sudden I found myself taking an interest in Avril, when I didn't really like her all that much during her heyday. I would have done anything back in 2002-2005 to be in my 20s in college, but as unhappy as I was then I still find myself nostalgic for that time, and Avril is iconic of those years.

It takes me back in time. When she released LG, I was 17 and I could relate to her songs. At that time, I also felt invincible: it was like nothing would never go seriously wrong, despite the fact that the world was a awful place (in my mind, perhaps; I was kind depressed). Now I'm 30, not so naive. Most of the time, I'm pretty much cynical. Listening to Avril, nowadays, brings me the old feelings of that time when the problems were small (compared to today) and I felt like everything was gonna be alright.

Listening to Avril is like listening to an Angel. I am reminded how grateful I am that she exists in this world.

Listening to Avril's music brought me joy. And then intense shame because I was called a poser by everyone (including my brother) when I displayed my folder of Avril pics (back and front cover) proudly. I listened to her music in my room through headphones. When I turned 18, I called her music my guilty pleasure. And indeed it was. Now that I turned 25, I don't see her as a guilty pleasure anymore. Now, it's just "music". Music that I denied myself and put and threw away like Barbie dolls.
Now that I'm 25, I can enjoy her music and sing in my head the songs I've always loved and made me happy. Yes, I only listen to her music through headphones (still) but at least I don't feel shame anymore. It will a long while until I can blast her music and feel totally comfortable. But it's a process! At least I don't feel shame. Yes, the fear is still there (being called a poser by everyone at school and then your own brother back at home) but I will one day get over it. Now, it just brings me pure joy and happiness when I listen to her music. Not shame.

I remember when I first starting loving Avril. I was 8 and my older sisters were watching the complicated music video on mtv and I just thought she was so cool. I started listening to her a lot and really becoming a fan. Now I'm 21 and I'm still just as in love with her and her music!. She has got me through some dark times. I've been to rehab, lost my papap (I sang Slipped Away at his funeral), been abused and when I listen to Avril I just feel okay. She gives me peace. Her music heals me. Her musuc makes me dance and rock out. Her muic makes me cry. Her music is so special to me. I've never been to any of her tours cuz I was either too young or wasn't able to go but that's a goal of mine! I love what she stands for. The message she gives out. Avril's music has meant a lot to me for a long time and I know I will be little black star forever!

I've always loved listening to Avril's music. I was only 9 when her first song came out, so her music basically is the background of my teenage years, and it'll be the background of the rest of my life as well. I really love that, whenever I listen to an Avril's song, it brings me back to a specific moment, memory in my life, bringing me back all the feelings I had in that moment, making me remember it more vividly
