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.
_"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.
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.
Hermetic Kitten Randomly listening to some great songs I used to listen to years ago and even more randomly seeing a comment by one of my favorite asmr artists :3
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!
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
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!
I'm a junior high school student. I'm Japanese. I have sung this song in my English class, and I knew this song then. I love this song!! it's so cool!! Singing this song is very difficult for me because this song is so fast, but I've practiced now! I want to be able to sing it!!
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.
logan izzo MCR vs AVRIL Lavigne? I’m a dude and even I know who was more popular lol The only people who knows MCR are weird emo chicks and guys who makes memes trolling emos 😂
im still convinced this early avril is not the same as the later/present. everything this avril does just looks effortless and so cool and punky compare to the after/now.
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
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 . . . .
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!
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!

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!

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.
@@Sunsilknz well said bro! To all the kids and teens reading this, enjoy that bliss, don't worry about the future, and just be yourself as the world comes into place around you one bit at a 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
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 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.
@@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
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 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?
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 RUclips 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
Gosh she was my IDOL in elementary school! I was such a huge skater and tomboy and when she came out, I was obsessed. I was so happy that there was this beautiful badass punk rock skater chick in the industry. Being nicknamed Little Avril made my heart melt as a 5th grader because she was the coolest chick ever to me lol
I remember singing this song out loud thinking I was such a punk rockstar lol I am grateful for the music we had back then. No pressure to be perfect, just live life carefree.
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!
What an incredible piece of music. I remember this song being on the radio all the time when I was younger. But, it’s more powerful to me now that ever before.
@@Draco_Malfoy1779 Yeah I’m more Oasis, Kasabian (who are from my home town Leicester, England), the old Arctic Monkeys stuff, The Enemy, Stereophonics, Pulp mainly 90s/00s British bands who were on the radio as well over our side of the pond but, I love the post punk American bands like Green Day, Blink 182, MCR, Fall out Boy, Good Charlotte etc Linkin Park, Foo Fighters as well. Avril was my childhood crush probably because she has a similar vibe and luckily managed to see her live this year 🤣 But, I loved all the pop stuff on the radio growing up as well. There’s a lot of great artists still out there today, just harder to find. I like most artists tbf, as long as they have a bit of personality.
"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.
It was a time to be alive that's for sure. I miss those days. Some of the best, most fun and most freeing time in our lives. We were rockin Tripp pants, metal studs, spikes, skate shoes and chains jamming out 24/7 lol. Pretty much this exact video.
"sorry girl but you missed. out well tough luck that boys 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 than meets the eye I see the soul that is inside" this line always gives me goosebumps. this line gives me hope that someone somewhere believes in me
Fuck yea believe that fuxking shit cause I’n the end work your ass off, and your worth will show. It’s what she saying to. Don’t let anyone bring you down 💯
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?
She is the first foreign singer I've ever known, and she was definitely my biggest motivation for learning English (considering I was 12 or something). Avril thank you so much for making my teenage years 100 times cooler than it was supposed to be.
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.
It's not funny at all
idk why but this made me burst into laughter in front of my entire family and i told them what i was laughing about and now they all think im crazy
@@dely5553 my apologies friend...
Yeah, Mozart is my favorite Punk composer too, but he just couldn't have done this.
Fun actual fact: I used to play a game called Anarchy Online with this chick when she was adorably religious.
this was my guilty pleasure song in high school
“Guilty”?????
I would like but it’s at 69
why was it guilty..
Wow

_"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.
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.
man I remember turning on MTV and doing homework jamming to some bangers
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.
My daughter and I both love Avril Lavigne it's great!!
Imagine letting your niece use screens. Do better.

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?

Ever listen to MGK's new album?

“Brutal” and “Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo would fit into that category

Happy 40th birthday Avril Lavigne !!!!
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
"He was a boy, she was a girl..." was obvious then now is relevant information.
honestly!
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 miss those times!!

Currently a teenager, and I wish I was an adult. But I'm pretty damn sure I'm gonna miss this freedom.
Stay safe out there bud
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.

@@baonkang5990 and the funny thing is the early 2000s was complete shit just like this song
My childhood was 80s and 90s. Every generation has blinders on about their childhood
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.
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

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?
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.

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!
The fact that this was filmed in Downtown LA makes it even more iconic.
why?
What an incredible piece of music. I remember this song being on the radio all the time when I was younger. But, it’s more powerful to me now that ever before.

@@Draco_Malfoy1779 Yeah I’m more Oasis, Kasabian (who are from my home town Leicester, England), the old Arctic Monkeys stuff, The Enemy, Stereophonics, Pulp mainly 90s/00s British bands who were on the radio as well over our side of the pond but, I love the post punk American bands like Green Day, Blink 182, MCR, Fall out Boy, Good Charlotte etc Linkin Park, Foo Fighters as well. Avril was my childhood crush probably because she has a similar vibe and luckily managed to see her live this year 🤣 But, I loved all the pop stuff on the radio growing up as well. There’s a lot of great artists still out there today, just harder to find. I like most artists tbf, as long as they have a bit of personality.

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.
