This is the video for "Hello Kitty," the newest single from Avril Lavigne.
It features Avril yelling things like "arigato" and "kawaii."
Avril also makes a lot of, like, meowing cat motions at the camera.
As she walks around what appears to be Japan?
With her very bored-looking backup dancers.
"Please help me."
She also plays a big guitar and does a weird dance thing with her backup dancers.
She has a Skrillex haircut now too.
Also, from a cultural standpoint, people aren't exactly psyched about Avril appropriating Japanese kawaii culture.
Avril calls her song Hello Kitty + asian backup dancers, Im sorry but if she werent so vapid Id call it racist but she dont know any better
actual racist avril lavigne
the only thing i enjoyed about avril's hello kitty song was the pastel colours lmao tat video was damn racist
ok avril lavigne's new song and video is just racist and ew ew ew NO WHY DO YOU WHITE ARTISTS DO THIS
Oh, and as if it couldn't get any worse? Chad Kroeger helped write it.
And it also might be about him too.
And lastly, just a reminder: Avril Lavigne is 29 years old...
...and "Complicated" came out 12 years ago.
UPDATE: It seems as though the video has been pulled down off YouTube for copyright. You can still watch it on her website though.
UPDATE: Avril Lavigne has responded to her controversial video.
RACIST??? LOLOLOL!!! I love Japanese culture and I spend half of my time in Japan. I flew to Tokyo to shoot this video…
