I have no problem with the girl, but please don't EVER label her kind of music as "punk".... That is disrespectful to the true punk bands(Ramones and The Sex Pistols, and punk revival bands like Green Day and old OffSpring).
I used to be a big fan of "punk," and I am pretty such that Arvil Lavigne is not punk... but then again I really can't recall anything that she has sung. I was more of a fan of bands like MxPx, face to face, down by law, pennywise, old offspring, nofx (until they got too political), ataris, descendants,joykiller, less than jake, dhc, and weston. I don't listen to much that is new, but what little i hear, it seems that there is a "punk" influence in the new rock...
but thatis another subject.
I really never liked the "punk" look, for two reasons, first it seemed unorginal like everyone was conforming to "non-conformity", it seemed that punk's idea of being yourself devolved into being and thinking like everyone else in this little subculture. Second, because I was more into being myself, I never really felt confortable in that dress/thought mind set.
ANYWAY (off that rabbit trail), beauty is natural. There are people who are naturally pretty and understand it. But I think that there are many more who are naturally pretty, but don't understand or know it, and go for what is false and end up destroying what made them beautiful to begin with.
hows that for a deep thought on a random thread in a message board?
