Does the Wikimedia foundation have enough money to form a lynch mob to go after people who spell boy "boi?" If so, I'd be interested in talking to someone about getting a grant. -- The Amazing Superking 18:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Not liking a song isn't important enough to complain about on a discussion page. 21:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Sounds lame and lazy.
A lot more too could be discussed on the vexed issues of unrequited love, or Lavigne's Kiplingesque take on how men develop character, or her assumption that punks will have better outcomes in life than ballet dancers.
its just about how the little wannabe rockers think they're better than people who do ballet, or work hard, or even dress "preppy", this song just says that anyone who isnt a "sk8erpunx" isnt gonna be succesful, and one day they'll turn on the tv and see the wannabe rockers are "rawking it up on on mtv" (singing some crap song they sort helped to write and occaisionally strumming a guitar), you know the channel that says rock is "in" right now! oh, and when the word "boy" is spelt as "boi" it actully means a lesbian who is very tomboyish, not a totally "hawt" boy in baggy clothes who can skate!
i whanted to know when i looked this song in wikipedia the historu of the song name and deates of the people involved. i many readrs wiil be intersted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.189.195 ( talk) 11:24, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Image:Sk8er Boi -2-.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 11:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

These I have found so far:
his dad having a tape of him singing "Sk8er Boi. http://www.tv.com/malcolm-in-the-middle/tiki-lounge/episode/379403/trivia.html
Either these does not work, therefore, the single chart top position can't be proved. http://www.997metroshowbiz.com/chart/international/021228.html http://www.997metroshowbiz.com/ Profession ( talk) 10:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
A thought just struck me that it might be a good move to explain what "sk8er boi" means, and why. I know that to me and probably most people it's fairly obvious but there are of course always those who speak bad English or those not up with the current slang that wouldn't get it. I'm not talking about any drastic changed, maybe just adding something like "[...] where "Sk8er boi" is L33t sp33k (i don't know whether this qualifies as l33t or not) for "skater boy", where the 8 is used to represent at due to its similar phonetic pronunciations." I'm not sure myself whether this is a good idea or not, so I decided not to be bold and rather ask about it here. I'm not likely to visit this discussion again, so I hope you can reach a nice conclusion. :) -- BiT ( talk) 12:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Please no one change the genres or anthing else I update. But I wanted to discuss with you that I will be putting music samples and the music videos and I will be putting genres and getting them reliable resources for everything I article I update. I will be going to (AllMusic) and (Billboards) for the music genres and making the music samples with (Audacity) and making each one thirty seconds total. I think I will just be editing the templates and not the whole article. Im not really that good at updating sentences. But please if I ever do anthing wrong that beyond wiki purposes feel free to put it on my talk page or anthying I update just correct the mistakes. Instead of deleting them. I will be putting them on different pages of Avril Lavinges albums/songs to let everybody know that I will be updating Thank You Sprite7868 -- Sprite7868 ( talk) 11:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Avril is not punk! Green Day is punk, Offspring is punk, but Avril isn't! She's to poppy to be punk! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revilal90 ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
This is outrageous. Avril Lavigne clearly already said that her genre is not punk rock in 2002. Girlfriend and her third album may be pop punk, but Sk8er Boi is not. — Preceding
