Not me calling him a red flag and still listening to his music, sorry hahaha. This is nowhere close to being pop-rock, which is interesting to see all these "rockers" going back once the hype over the pop-rock is gone lol. But anyways, i like the song. The lyrics are simple but very personal i think. I'm not sure if the song talks about Avril alone, or about his exes in general (since they appear 2 or 3 women in the video). I'm glad his taking the route of "being broken" instead of trashing her or starting a feud. Yeah I quite like this. I feel like it just needs a good bridge or something Yeah it’s really short without a bridge. But it sounds quite okay! He’s not trashing anyone in this song, if it’s Avril or another ex he sings about.

She is so lame for wishing LA Reid a public happy birthday on Insta. If that was the only problem. Avril is lucky that she does not get the amount of attention she used to get because people would eat her alive for her history of working with (alleged) abusers: Manson, Nick Carter, L.A. Reid, and now All Time Low... Dating Tyga and Mod who are both creeps... And with All Time Low, I have a bone to pick with her specifically... Morality aside, why would she even want to be associated with such a thing? Aside from a couple of incidents, homegirl has almost a pristine reputation. Why would she want to put her reputation at risk like that? It baffles me.

She might come off as a cool rock chick, but these little incidents are signs that she doesn't really care. This is actually a problem I see with many. The person they like so much has never been "stress tested," so to speak, yet everyone's like, "they'd never be like that!"

ATL themselves have said the accusations were false and have sued the twitter accounts. Nothing’s come from the accusations and it’s been two years so…. Do with that what you will. I’d prefer Avril not associate with people who’ve had accusations, and I’d hope she’d have better discernment considering she’s helped Kesha on her case…. but what can you do? She’s not guilty by association and till she’s associating with a legit convicted felon, I think she’s allowed to be friends with who she’s friends with.

About Shelter:
"That was as song that came from a specific incident that happened. Hm, you know, talking about the dark places my mind can go... That was like a specific moment that happened."
It's fine to interpret things as metaphors, of course. Musicians do it all the time. However, clearly stating in an interview that it happened gives people the possibility to interpret it literally, especially if someone repeatedly asserts and reinforces two times that it happened. So there's no need to push hard feelings towards anyone. By the way, this is not an interpretation unique to Bandaids users. Just check pop-punk communities on other social media, such as Reddit. Many people had the same interpretation. Btw, if someone talks about such serious issues, even as a metaphor, it can be perceived as problematic.

I don't think we can blame Avril for working with LA Reid, Nick Carter, and Manson. She collaborated with them years, or even decade(s) ago, before their problematic actions became public known. Regarding ATL, it was never confirmed. Additionally, she never worked with Luke again and supported Kesha in her case. So I think this topic doesn’t make sense at all. If she deliberately decides to work with or somehow support confirmed problematic people now, then that’s another story, and she would need to take accountability for it. I hope it never happens.

I know it’s not to be taken “too seriously nor literally” but don’t they have known each other since.. the day before yesterday? It seems like MGK was her bestie and they toured together, he spoke at the Hollywood walk of fame, now she has another bestie.. until the end of the year lol (This post of mine is ironic, non a critic)

Yeah it does intrigue me how few people seem to stay in her life unless they’re on her payroll. She has a new “bestie” every 2 minutes. I know a few people irl like that though - nice enough people but just constantly swing from one person to the other claiming “besties” with them all

I think she's just joking around. It was the ACMawards who used the best friends hashtag first. She just reposted and played along

He spells out his writing methodology in another part of the video too, where he says the following:
"But artistically I thoroughly enjoy writing about what's actually happening in my life you know. Um maybe there will be a day where I make a storytelling album where I'm just like you know I like to write or write books or write movies, like I like to write, so maybe there will be a day where I'm like, all right let's make a fantasy album, but I really really enjoy talking about my real life so like you know."

We didn’t choose any Avril songs for our first dance but I did request Complicated, Sk8er Boi, and IWY be on the reception playlist and every time one of those came on I went absolutely feral and rushed to the dance floor and I sang along and rocked my heart out to them lol I was SO glad I was able to incorporate her somewhere into our day!

I think you’re hearing what you want to hear in that Mod clip and not what he’s actually saying. It’s very clear he’s talking about her helping with his mental health, not quite literally pulling him back from the edge of a cliff. Cant we give her credit for being a nice person and being there for him through his mental health struggles rather than try to turn him into a monster by taking things out of context? But you carry on, lol. Congrats Andrea!! Glad to hear some Avril was incorporated into the day
