This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we put “Complicated” under the microscope and ask the question nobody wanted answered in 2002: was this actually pop punk, or were we all aggressively gaslit by a necktie and some eyeliner?We dig into how Avril Lavigne was pitched as a skater-punk outsider while quietly being moulded in a boardroom, why Complicated sounds a lot more like country rock than Warped Tour, and how a song with zero pop-punk staples somehow became the face of the genre.Along the way, we cover industry plants, the Matrix songwriting factory, the unhinged Avril replacement conspiracy, questionable skateboarding technique, violent crimes against a supermarket hot-dog mascot, and the all-important closer: could Gavin beat Avril Lavigne in a fight circa 2002?It’s messy. It’s nostalgic. Several people’s piss is reportedly burning.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!
