Hey gang, Kevin here.
00:00:07 Kevin
My mind is blown today.
00:00:08 Kevin
So, did you know that Avril Lavigne was not a lesbian roller, or a skateboarding goth chick that cut herself?
00:00:25 Kevin
Like,
00:00:27 Kevin
I didn't know that.
00:00:28 Kevin
I didn't follow her career.
00:00:29 Kevin
I just knew, like, she was lumped in that category.
00:00:35 Kevin
I had no idea that she was just like a Taylor Swifty type, Katy Perry type, pop, here's my number, call me maybe kind of person.
00:00:48 Kevin
I didn't realize that, you know, because every person that I knew when she was coming out was like, she was a
00:00:55 Kevin
skater boy like that was it like that.
00:00:58 Kevin
I don't know.
00:00:59 Kevin
All the girls that used to cut themselves used to listen to her.
00:01:01 Kevin
So I just assumed and they were all goth and they listened to punk grunge rock and you know, I just yeah, I just assumed that she was not a pop culture icon.
00:01:13 Kevin
Well, pop culture in that she was popular in a group of people, but she wasn't like mainstream.
00:01:18 Kevin
Apparently she's mainstream.
00:01:22 Kevin
It's more mainstream than I anticipated that she was and she was more Taylor Swifty poppy pop than I anticipated that she was.
00:01:31 Kevin
My mind was blown because my daughter was listening to It's So Complicated and I had no idea it was Avril Lavigne and then my wife schooled me on it and started naming all the different songs that are on her playlist.
00:01:41 Kevin
So mind blown over something that is...
00:01:46 Kevin
looks 2002 so yeah I mean like it's 24 years old so yeah it's a
00:01:52 Kevin
Mind-blowing revelation today.
00:01:55 Kevin
So, the lesbian skateboarder.
00:01:58 Kevin
I think she kissed a girl.
00:02:01 Kevin
Is that her?
00:02:02 Kevin
I don't know.
00:02:02 Kevin
I don't follow her stuff, but like I just...
00:02:07 Kevin
I hate going down rabbit holes with music that I don't intend on listening to, so.
00:02:12 Kevin
But there you go, folks.
