I've heard it played like a hymn but if you pay attention to the lyrics...not so much.

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.


I don’t find these problematic at all.

Loved them when I was young bc I was also nOt LiKe OtHeR gIrLs. Then I grew up and realized the boys pretty much sucked all along and it would have been more fun to hang out with the cheer captains and ballerinas.

Skater boy was especially gross since it’s delighting in a 20 year old woman being abandoned by her husband to raise a baby alone because she dumped a boy back in high school. WTF.


I really hated the Skater Boi song because the ballerina actually liked the guy, so why can't the punk guy just clean up a little for her? I agree with the pick me vibes.


Yeah, what won't a man just change to satisfy a woman's cowardly bigotry instead of being true to himself and finding someone who respects him for who he is?

No one hates women like women hate women. April Lavigne knows it.


LOL skaters and punks are equally cliquey as ballerinas and cheerleaders. Cliques are cliques. It's a pick me song ("see how much cooler I am than a mom?"). It's such a dated song. I remember when I was young hanging with some hippie types and they made fun of me because I wore a cardigan and painted my toenails. People are all the same.

Am I the only one that doesn't see issue with the song? It was skate culture of the 90s showing people's shallow side and missed opportunity based on looks.

I was barely too old for this song. So I hated it more than anything. My cousin (born same year, but different grade) loved it. On repeat, and I pretended to like it for her sake.

This hits differently now:

They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said “no, no, no.”

Were you not paying attention when Naughty By Nature defined and explained it in detail in the song?

Spiderwebs by No Doubt. Catchy song about a stalker.
