To what age group does Avril Lavigne appeal?

[TheWizardOfMudd]

I mean, besides middle-aged men like me who want her to crawl on top and go for a wild, 90 second ride?

1. the UnBritney crowd

[SarahB]

2. The middle school and younger crowd

I have a couple that like her. I don't really mind her in comparison to some of the other ones (but I don't seek it out when they're not around either). At least she writes a lot of her own stuff.

4. And, in addition, . . .

. . . Avril actually plays an instrument and does not lip synch!

She's actually very good at what she does.

3. Oh damn, you beat me to it.

But, ... 90 seconds? (snicker)

5. Thanks for gettin' the joke

Heh. ;)

[Gothic Sponge]

6. She looks nice

but her music IMO is dull.

[KissMyAsscroft]

7. The same market all the teen skanks appeal to....

The morons.

8. the apparently not old enough to know better crowd

I think.

[SmileyBoy]

9. It's the demographic that spends the most money, unfortunately.

"The apparently not old enough to know better crowd". I like that term.

10. Teens to 20's

Those who think Britney is a hose beast and would just as soon watch her falling off a high place as listen to her screech.

My daughter, 14, likes Avril, although she says she's a wanna-be punk, which is probably true since most "punks" nowadays haven't the slightest idea what punk is.

I respect her 'cause she at least seems more real than most other female performers in her crowd. She's not afraid not to lip sync, even though she doesn't sound perfect live.

11. mall-core

otherwise known as the "dying to be different" crowd. they all end up looking like each other, though (if different from the cheerleaders at least), because they all shop at Hot Topic. :D

12. LOL

Mallcore. That sickens me but is SO dead on.
