Carbon Costume

Avril Lavigne is a Canadian musician who helped popularize the pop-punk sound that defined much of the early 2000s.  Her breakout hit was Sk8er Boi from her first album.  In the music video for it, Avril dons heavy eyeliner, a trucker hat, Converse sneakers, and her signature tie.  In Addition, Avril wears black and white striped socks, black pants, a wallet chain, and studded bracelets.  The t-shirt she wears in the video is green with yellow text.  You can find replica versions online, or choose another green t-shirt with a fitting theme.

In Blink-182’s music video for “First Date,” Tom DeLonge assumes his alter-ego Boomer, a crude and inconsiderate dimwit. Not much is known about Boomer other than that he has kissed his own brother, and is currently in prison for “undisclosed reasons.” For this costume, pretty much any lightly-colored yellow shirt will work.
