All the Things You See in Avril Lavigne's "Hello Kitty" Video

Avril Lavigne released her "Hello Kitty" music video today, and it's already causing controversy. Avril seems to have shed her old punk-rock persona and moved on to what we can only refer to as a mixture of J-pop and electronic music. The video is flowing with sensory overload, from the candy-shop shots and the bizarrely stoic backup dancers to Avril's constant waving and hip-shaking. Don't feel like watching? We made GIFs, so you don't have to.
