Younger artists like WILLOW, Olivia Rodrigo, The Linda Lindas, and Meet Me the Altar are putting their own spin on the genre. (Both pairs were at Lavigne’s concert on the album’s release day.) Platform boots, rocker plaids, and leather pants are in again. The hottest celebrity couples are Barker and Kourtney Kardashian and Kelly and Megan Fox. Nostalgia for Y2K and the emo aughts is at its peak, aesthetically and musically.
If Avril Lavigne, now 37, was ever going to make a comeback, there’s no better time than now.

“I don’t got time motherfucker, don’t ruin my life,” she warns potential suitors in “Break of a Heartbreak.” Blink-182 lead singer Mark Hoppus and Machine Gun Kelly are featured on the record, and she wrote it with artists like Travis Barker, who launched the label she’s now signed to, as well as now-boyfriend Mod Sun. The 12-track LP bursts with breakup anthems and a high energy that manifests in hyper drums, head-bopping electric guitar, and don’t-give-a-damn lyrics. One listen and you’ll feel like flat-ironing your side bangs and lining your arms with rubber bracelets again. Love Sux is Lavigne’s first album since 2019, and arrives almost 20 years after her smash debut Let Go, which gave us hits like “Complicated.” While her last project, Head Above Water, was a pensive reflection on her struggle with Lyme disease, this one finds her back in her rebellious pop-punk roots. On the cover, she wears an all-black outfit and holds up black balloons against a red-orange backdrop. Either way, she’s committed to the color theme of Love Sux, her seventh album, which dropped Feb. The latter could refer to the black graphic hoodie she’s wearing, or the Zoom background behind her, or her signature heavy eyeliner. “These are the album colors, orange and black,” she explains. The orange, then, is a bold choice but still in character. She’s done hints of green (even green and pink together), girly platinum curls, and blonde highlights so bright they’re basically white.

She’s had black under layers in her Under My Skin era and streaks of hot pink on The Best Damn Thing album cover. Lavigne’s hair has been a marker of her evolution as a musician ever since she rose to stardom in the early 2000s, as a pin-straight dirty blonde teen singing about Sk8er Bois. Her “hair girl” did the dye job in her California home as Lavigne sat in the kitchen, ends covered in tin foil. Her lower layers are dip-dyed pale citrus, sticking out from her otherwise bleach-blonde head.
“I’m trying to find an orange that doesn’t fade,” Avril Lavigne says with a laugh, stroking fistfuls of her hair.
