Episode 28: Is Avril Lavigne Punk? with Angelina Singer
In this episode, I’m joined by young adult author and music journalist, Angelina Singer, for the second installment of the discussion-based segment “That’s What Everyone’s Talkin’ About.” We talk through the evolution of punk and pop punk music, as well as why we think Avril was given that label so early on in her career, how it affected her, and how she’s influenced the pop punk bands of today.
