At the time I disliked pop, but looking back, though I still think it sucks, it was more innocent and melodic with less electronic musical elements. Seems like the music tried to grow with us, from innocent dance and teenage love to more scandalous hip-hop club hits to now, diva sluts and jabbering monotone ghetto trash.
I mostly remember Avril Lavigne being in juxtaposition with Britney Spears when they were still both quite young. The latter was scantily dressed, hyper-sexual and made very electronically processed music (think "Baby One More Time" when she was 17). Avril in contrast dressed grunge in baggy clothes and her music relied less on electronics than traditional instruments (think "Sk8er Boi" when she was 17, almost 18).
Over time Britney stayed about the same just getting older. Avril stayed fairly conservative until she got divorced, I think. In any case she didn't go for a really sexy image with a more poppy sound until she was well into her 20s.
Good observation. I often think to myself, these people are just musicians and performers. Today it comes with some appeal to authority fallacy, where because they are on a high-eschalon of society, the words they say have weight. I really think it is exactly like the folktale of the pie-piper. Music has the power to inspire and make young minds follow. While in the past music was intrinsically tied to our ethnic cultures and would inspire youth with tales of heroes and working hard, organic tradition-based, pragmatic, and structurally-sound social engineering, now it's based around economics, consumer immediate gratification of the best feels, animal feels, with subversive social engineering to have life-styles of self-indulgent short-sighted goals of hedonism that benefit no one but the dealer.

She is also the result of homeschooling. Thus demonstrating that the value of homeschooling depends upon the home.

Her version of homeschooling probably involved jewish ritualistic sexual torture...

The girl looked normal when she started.
Now she looks like someone who is partying too hard.
Anyone in her situation would probably be a little burned out though even if she wasn't partying.

I predict she will perform with less clothing as the years go by.

That's certainly what Avril Lavigne did. But she was attractive to start with and also had more pleasing music.
