I’ve been a fan of Avril Lavigne’s starting when “Complicated” played on the radio and there was a stark divide between people who were “pro-Avril” and “anti-Avril”, back when people actually fought over whether or not she “was a real punk”. Those were the days. I’ve liked her since I was a teenager. And to be honest, I’m glad that we’ve moved past that point and can appreciate her music for what it is rather than argue “whether or not she is a real punk” or “whether or not she is punk enough”. Teenagers argue over the stupidest things sometimes, and I would know because I used to be one. I’m also glad I am no longer one.

At any rate, I’m glad to have stuck with her music and still consider myself a fan of her. Her music is catchy.

When I originally found out that the Spice Girls had their own original albums in high school, I was shook.

My friend linked to this and now I am pumping this everywhere, even though I didn’t listen to it growing up.

Daft Punk’s “Voyager” has been my jam for so long I don’t even know when I started to like it.

That is seriously how long I have liked this song. For all I know, I could have begun to like it in high school.

I used to bop to this all the time as a teenager, and I linked to this on Twitter at one point when K-pop stans took over a racist hashtag. Sure, it might be Japanese pop, and I let everyone know that I knew that… but I still like this song to this day. I have had this in my playlist for more than a decade, all the way to the present.
