_"Skaterboi rockin up MTV"_ That's what dates this song the most. Not the clothes, not the music style, but the fact that MTV actually used to play music.
To be honest, I feel like MTV would have be a key shift in society today, if you think about it. MTV was moving back then, and was catching a big crowd of viewers, respectively, for the channels openness to the punk/alt scene, and if it had expanded more in that direction more, rather than towards artists like modern rap of the 2008-2014 era, and cheesy reality shows, I genuinely think people would've revolutionized a little better if punk era became more common. I miss shows like scarred, MTV Music, Rob and Bigg. It became relevant, but it failed to proceed in that direction.
Fun Fact. Sk8er Boi was originally written composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but he gave it to Avril Lavigne as it was “too deep and emotional” for him to preform.
I overheard my niece playing this song on her iPad the other day and I couldn’t have been happier. She loved it the same way I did when it first came out.
The overlap between Sk8ter Culture of the late 90's and Emo Culture of the Early 00's is the pinnacle of human society and no one can tell me otherwise.
those kick-ass bracelets, these striped black and white socks, these converse, that amazing tie and cool hair, THE song, this era is legendary so is this video
I was at her concert in Ottawa and omg I fell in love even more. I've always been a fan and im 30 now but she brought back so many memories of my childhood last Wednesday.
Well, you're lucky, whoever you are. Thanks to share it with all of us. I must confess that I wonder to be in your shoes in that time. I have Avril's age, by the way, and I enjoy her repertory, like you do. Have a nice time!
AVRIL LAVIGNE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!! I WAS ONLY 10 YEARS WHEN THIS SONG WAS REALISED AND I STILL IS LIKE I'D LISTEN THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME !!!! I LOVE HER !!!!
I remember being a metalhead in early 2000s but then heard my sister play “Sk8er Boi” for the first time. I had to sneak into her room and listen to the CD so nobody would find out how much I liked Avril’s music!

She is the real Avril Lavigne.This music is anti-feminist, since maintained feminists are known to be superb, and for believing that the world revolves around them, those pathetic feminists are still looking for the perfect man, that is, only "men" effeminates. Ella es la verdadera Avril Lavigne. Esta música es anti-feminista, ya que la feministas mantenidas son conocidas por ser soberbias, y por creer que el mundo gira al rededor de ellas, esas feministas patéticas siguen buscando el hombre perfecto, o sea, solo "hombres" afeminados
@@Hannah-ji6qx Yes, and to them it'll be the best music ever. It's hard for me to understand though, I've always liked music from older decades so I could never feel nostalgic because I wasn't born in the 60s, 70s and I don't remember the 80s lol
Absolutely insane that Avril is now 40. For a long time I thought that flying cars would become the norm long before she reaches that age. Crazy how one the biggest faces of youth back in the 2000s is now alot older. Happy birthday Avril Lavigne AKA the greatest female singer of all time!
People keep mentioning Billie 'cause the people who don't like her or her music think there special. I remember when liking music like that made you "quirky". Now, the people who *don't* like her music are the "quirky" ones
Been obsessed with this song for possibly the most pathetic reason. I'm trying to imagine what it must feel like to be the skater boy character and have someone love you so much they feel the need to brag about you to this extent. Imagining how wanted and loved that would make you feel.
Hey I just wanna say I don't think that's pathetic at all. The desire to be desired is quite arguably the defining feature of what makes a human a human. We are desiring machines and, "desire is the desire of the other," in the words of Jacques Lacan. Imo it's really sad that music acknowledging that has been pushed out of the mainstream and only really exists in the indie/small label scenes these days. You're not alone. This feeling is probably the most human thing you could feel.
You look and realize that you can't bring back the one who left. Tears come and I want to cry. What a time it was... the very dawn of MTV and all kinds of awards and Oscars. Now there is no such thing for burning.
That "He was a boy, she was a girl, Can I make it any more obvious?" Has to be one of the most iconic quotes ever on music history, this is AMAZING, I literally hear this every single year since I was 6, And now I'm almost turning 20 and this is still superb
I just turned 20 on the 6th and I'm just going on a nostalgic trip in my head! Especially since my mom, one of my granddads and grandmas who died from 2019 to 2021, after I ended up in foster care were still very much alive and well and I was totally happier and innocent and carefree!!

"I wasn't sure if people would get the '8' thing, but they did. It goes to show that when you take a big creative risk, it can really pay off" - Avril Lavigne on her song "Sk8er Boi"
Yes, because people substituting numbers for letters was received SO well back in the day. Be aware "Get" back then didn't just mean "understand", it was also equivalent for LIKE. She likely meant she wasn't sure if people would even Like it.

He was a boy She was a girl Can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk She did ballet What more can I say? He wanted her She'd never tell Secretly she wanted him as well But all of her friends Stuck up their nose They had a problem with his baggy clothes He was a skater boy She said, "see you later, boy" He wasn't good enough for her She had a pretty face But her head was up in space She needed to come back down to earth Five years from now She sits at home Feeding the baby, she's all alone She turns on TV Guess who she sees Skater boy rockin' up MTV She calls up her friends They already know And they've all got tickets to see his show She tags along Stands in the crowd Looks up at the man that she turned down He was a skater boy She said, "see you later, boy" He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a super star Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? He was a skater boy She said, "see you later, boy" He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a super star Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? Sorry, girl, but you missed out Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now We are more than just good friends This is how the story ends Too bad that you couldn't see See the man that boy could be There is more that meets the eye I see the soul that is inside He's just a boy And I'm just a girl Can I make it any more obvious? We are in love Haven't you heard How we rock each others world I'm with the skater boy I said, "see you later, boy" I'll be back stage after the show I'll be at the studio Singing the song we wrote About a girl you used to know I'm with the skater boy I said, "see you later, boy" I'll be back stage after the show I'll be at the studio Singing the song we wrote About a girl you used to know
My crush in high school used to like Avril Lavigne, and she influenced me to listen to her music. Up until now, I am still listening to Avril Lavigne's songs.
@@daanxbox360 I think also because internet wasnt so dominant. there was no social media or atleast nothing comparable to nowadays. we were actually living.
@michaelrincon559 , you may used the Google Translator, at all. Then, I don't understand you. I meant that the song's content is an insiration for me. Then, I explain you: When that nobody believes about your potential, you show how you're capable to do it. Hoping that you understand me. Greetings from Brazill 🇧🇷 , my homeland.
My daughter sang this at a talent show at school. She sounded so identical. Many people remarked about it. Kid go back to singing. I would like a luxurious house.
@@sunmal1599 Lol Not where I lived. The punk/rock style of the 2000's was not close to how people viewed it in the 80's and maybe early 90's. Maybe it depends on where you lived, but the punk/rock kids were pretty average kids who were more emo than anything else in the 2000's. A lot of chains and baggy pants, shitty haircuts and eyeliner. Besides, I think the 'punk' Avril is referring to in the song isn't really punk, just more of a skater dude.
While this video was posted 14yrs ago, this song is in fact 22yrs old! Unbelievable. I was in middle school watching the hell outta this music vid. I'm revisiting this at 36 now. How has all that time gone by already? One thing is for sure, she is still a Legendary Queen!
You people are all generalizing based on Hello Kitty, it still has meaning. And for the record, Avril is not making meaningless music, you judgmental people, how about listen to all her songs?
2024 here. This Song Rocks Today as back in the Days! Was in my early twenties back then, we had the best Time ever, and we didn´t even knew it . . . .
@@AxelEzLR i wish i was 13...I'm 24, so 2018-2002=16... 24-16=8 I was about 8 years old and i kinda skip this era... Yet i get wrecked by the nostalgia as if i lived it...
When I was a kid. A girl I was practically in love with. used this song to convey her feelings about me. She and I went to the same summer camp in the early 2000's. It's been almost 20 years. She never talked to me again after that summer.
hipsters didn't exist back then there was only street punk, skate punks. It was all about the way of being it. But like you said, maybe you're too young and missed out on it
+Bree Stone I feel you, I remember skating with my best friends every day after class. Thrasher shirts and bracelets forever and my mohawk, good times.
Off topic but UA-cam needs to start putting the copyright date on music videos again. You have people thinking this sing came out 8 years ago when it came out in 2002. And not just this video other videos as well.
It always astounds me how many young kids can't realize songs existed before youtube did. On every music video there's always comments saying "omg 10 years old" since pretty much every old music video was posted in 2009
Arianna G Kids of this generation oh my : / they don't understand the difference between a youtube upload date and when a song came out its sad honestly I HATE THIS GENERATION.
I still remember, grade 2 gym class, learning to roller blade, this song was playing. I'm 20 now. that's crazy.... going back listening to old songs really takes me back... this songs at least like 12 years old?
I learned English thanks to this masterpiece. I wanted to know what she was saying and I fell in love with her music. It's 2021 and I still listen to Avril. I think she is a superstar. My gosh this brings back so many memories.
Thanks! Yeah life is tough as a teenager for sure, it's tough as an adult. They are just two different things. Enjoy living in that teenage bubble and discover who you are and what's important to you and live by that. You'll naturally find the world around you that will embrace you for that, you don't want to find the world around you that will embrace you for something you're not.

Idk. As a former emo, this was way too pop music styled. Most of us were into metal that “no one ever heard before” but the fake sk8ter girls would woo the dudes like this
_"Skaterboi rockin up MTV"_
That's what dates this song the most. Not the clothes, not the music style, but the fact that MTV actually used to play music.
even when this came out it was rare to see music on MTV
When this song released MTV hardly even played music anymore...
Good point... then there was VH1 who followed MUSIC TELEVISION'S footsteps and became garbage.

Yes, it was very fun... I miss 2000s
Incredible memories with this song. Thanks Avril.
Me: *listen to this song*
My black eyeliner: Aww shit, here we go again
literally me lol
Claudia can you explain, i didn’t understand
ME THO LMAO
Me too xD
lol
When I was younger I absolutely loved Avril and this was my favorite video of hers. So much that I went out and got a band, toured the US, and find out my tour manager was in this video. HA!
Amazing music! You have earned a new fan! :D
you won a new referral bro
Same didn't know there were other 10 year olds on UA-cam

im 11! its not the same.
Natasha Jayne Watts
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her
She'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a skater boy
She said, "see you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a skater boy
She said, "see you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy
She said, "see you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Sorry, girl, but you missed out
Well, tough, luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each others world
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "see you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said, "see you later, boy"
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
Goodnight love
And she said before time
this is more heartbreak song than a love song haha
Congratulations
My crush in high school used to like Avril Lavigne, and she influenced me to listen to her music. Up until now, I am still listening to Avril Lavigne's songs.
22 years later. And this song still packs a punch. Awesome. 🤘🏻🛹.
It’s says 13 years tho?
@@Liltim988they mean in their age 22 years later when they heard this song
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where’d you get 22 from?
@@perla5465 the song came out 22 years ago in its album, it was only 13 years ago when it was uploaded to youtube.
So are we all not going to acknowledge that this music video is not the same as we all remember it?
Yes like what is going on
Seriously!!!! Not one thing is the same
Tell me u guys watched a tiktok about this too?
Ya wtf is going on
I was searching for this comment! I remember!
I feel so nostalgic. How could 20 years Pass This fast. 90&.2000 era seemed so much easier& happier
That's because we were children without responsibilities
@@daanxbox360 I think also because internet wasnt so dominant. there was no social media or atleast nothing comparable to nowadays. we were actually living.

it was, undoubtedly.
True🤔❤️
It's an ispiration when nobody believe you can be succeeded.
Thanks, Avril, for a such inspiration.
Skater boy isn't a skater.
@michaelrincon559 , you may used the Google Translator, at all. Then, I don't understand you.
I meant that the song's content is an insiration for me. Then, I explain you:
When that nobody believes about your potential, you show how you're capable to do it.
Hoping that you understand me.
Greetings from Brazill 🇧🇷 , my homeland.
First person to use 'Boi'?
I think she was the first to use "8" in a word too
TwentyOneBeeboBabies 😂
e tem uns "boi" que anda de skate ha muito mais tempo
Yep
JokézSpeedRuns Prazer, boi é do Brasil.
I forgot how frikkin cute she was back then. She is beautiful today.
she was everyones dream girl back in the day
@Maritza Arrazabal calling somebody beautiful isn't being a simp. Have a nice day.
How old was she in thisvideo ?
@@igotnogoodnametoreplacemyr6988 I just checked, she was just 18 at the time.
@@igotnogoodnametoreplacemyr6988 17
I was 15 when this song came out… I miss these days.
"Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be

love that part
The plot twist is this is actually about a Transformer. There is more than meets the eye.
Dude I was on that part when I read it lol
Love it

Yet all she's saying about him is that he's a superstar, and that's his worth. Never noticed that when I was a kid....
Totally training
Before the iPhone took over the world and video cameras were cool
Before MTV became lame.
calm down wow

Happy birthday to Avril Lavigne!
Avril Lavigne is 30 yet still looks like 18! Now that's real goals!
+Trixie Gwen Rocks I am 45, and look 26, is that okay too?
Wow! That's nice!
+Trixie Gwen Rocks if you meant the avril lavigne in the video.
well
I hate to break it to you
but she was 17 when she made this video
Alex Domenech Think she means now. And she does still look like a teen.
Alex Domenech I know she was 17 in this video. What I meant is that, she is 30 years old now yet still looks like 18 duhhhhh
Can we awknoledge Avril Lavigne for just a second and the impact she had on us???
Yes we can, in fact, we are. I hope.
Theory: Billie Eilish is the failed modern evolution of Avril Lavigne.
@@bekkfxst they aren't even the same genre. She's great, avril is great, kinda messed up to keep hating on billie for no reason
@@wheresmynoodles7271 exactly
My daughter sang this at a talent show at school. She sounded so identical. Many people remarked about it.
Kid go back to singing. I would like a luxurious house.
Avril: He was a punk. She did ballet. What more can I say?
13 year old me: Whoa, it's like Romeo and Juliet.
They were opposites. Then never meant to be according to the HS Social Hierarchy Construct
Welp in the 2000 parents were heaaavily against rock/punk/metal stuffs, sooo... it makes kinda sense for that time
@@sunmal1599 Lol Not where I lived. The punk/rock style of the 2000's was not close to how people viewed it in the 80's and maybe early 90's. Maybe it depends on where you lived, but the punk/rock kids were pretty average kids who were more emo than anything else in the 2000's. A lot of chains and baggy pants, shitty haircuts and eyeliner.
Besides, I think the 'punk' Avril is referring to in the song isn't really punk, just more of a skater dude.
hahaha
@@babyhilts Yep, I agree. He was more "classic punk". What used to be called; non-comformist.✌🌈😸
The way she said “Sorry” at 2:11 made me immediately look up if Avril Lavigne is Canadian. She is.
canadiest thing ever
lmao
Mind you, "Sorry" is something British people say a lot too...
@@petercdowney the accent tho
What does an American sorry sound like
The original “not like other girls” girl
It's a freezing moon
Do not disrespect her like this
haha oh my god, I hate to say because I regularly listen to this song but goddamn it, this really be that kinda song 😂
No ‘bruh’ girl song
It was ok when she did it tho, because it was true
While this video was posted 14yrs ago, this song is in fact 22yrs old! Unbelievable. I was in middle school watching the hell outta this music vid. I'm revisiting this at 36 now. How has all that time gone by already? One thing is for sure, she is still a Legendary Queen!
Avril was making history.
Then she started making meaningless music like the rest and it all went to hell. At least we still have her first two albums
@@Alexandra-uk4vr 100% true
@@username-bw7vu I am completely calm.
@@username-bw7vu watch this video and then that fkin "Hello Kitty" garbage she made and try to 'calm down', double dare you. Nuff said
You people are all generalizing based on Hello Kitty, it still has meaning. And for the record, Avril is not making meaningless music, you judgmental people, how about listen to all her songs?
Back when music wasn't shit⏱
Are you joking? This was milk toast BS when it first came out.
Exactly!
***** Yep :(
edge
really tho
BRO I swear that this song gets more and more better the more I listen to it
Mr dudle hits different when you’re a skater
@@nafisasadaf93 yeah, this actually barely even comes close to how us skaters are like.

~GOLDEN ERA~
"I liked this song as a kid, but it's probably terrible in 2019...."
NOPE. STILL AN ABSOLUTE BANGER
Omg same the best part is when she says “ haven’t you heard how we rock each others world”
IDOT
IDIOT I know right. Absolutely an amazing song. Never gets old. I’m not into punk or rock but this is definitely a worth listening to.
I got the 666th like uwu
Right
The fact that this was filmed in Downtown LA makes it even more iconic.
why?

When I was a kid. A girl I was practically in love with. used this song to convey her feelings about me. She and I went to the same summer camp in the early 2000's. It's been almost 20 years. She never talked to me again after that summer.
This was the first Avril Lavigne song I ever heard
***** I was 15, and it was August 2002 when it did come out
Me too. I was 13.
Same, this is actually the first time I've ever heard one of her songs. She's really good.
lool i was 4 😂😂 but had older siblings
lightheart5 I heard girlfriend first
This was not in my recomendation, I searched for this song
Same as u :)
I'm here from a channel that doesn't have a username.
Who didn't.

Same lol
i remember when the whole skater punk rock scene was in, shit was fun back then
hipsters didn't exist back then there was only street punk, skate punks. It was all about the way of being it. But like you said, maybe you're too young and missed out on it
I know I didn't. I remember it was around the time where that show Zoey 101 used to come on all the time.
+A Mcd lmfao
+Bree Stone I feel you, I remember skating with my best friends every day after class. Thrasher shirts and bracelets forever and my mohawk, good times.

Off topic but UA-cam needs to start putting the copyright date on music videos again. You have people thinking this sing came out 8 years ago when it came out in 2002. And not just this video other videos as well.
It always astounds me how many young kids can't realize songs existed before youtube did. On every music video there's always comments saying "omg 10 years old" since pretty much every old music video was posted in 2009
@@stormthrush201 idk what you're talking about music didn't exist until 2005, and most songs didn't get released until 4 years later
FelixFTW damn you're right, I completely forgot. Life truly did change when they invented music in 2005
FelixFTW That tickled me
UA-cam was made in 2005.

Thanks! Yeah life is tough as a teenager for sure, it's tough as an adult. They are just two different things. Enjoy living in that teenage bubble and discover who you are and what's important to you and live by that.

when emos actually existed. everybody hated them, but compared to social groups nowadays I prefer this 1000x more.

Idk. As a former emo, this was way too pop music styled. Most of us were into metal that “no one ever heard before” but the fake sk8ter girls would woo the dudes like this

Avril was not emo
