Th… Read Full Bio ↴L8r Boi is the eighth track on Ashnikko’s debut mixtape ‘DEMIDEVIL’.
The track is a modern feminist flip on the song “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne. In this version, the punk boy takes the role of the angsty “skater boy,” a dumb guy with anger issues (commonly known in pop culture slang as “Kyle”). The girl, on the other hand, is independent and loves herself without judgement from the boy. The song comes after internet scrutiny of Lavigne’s original hit for its outdated tone.

Ashnikko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, she did ballet
What the fuck does it matter anyway?
He didn't try to make her cum
On top of all that, he was a little dumb
Honestly, she was better off alone
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She's not a therapist
Don't wanna take care of him
She's an independent girl
Me and my bitches
We have way more fun without him
Fuck all your fairy tales
Shout it from the tallest mountain
Whoa, she's in love with her damn self, yeah, yeah
Don't let him fuck with your mental health, yeah, yeah
Now that I'm winning, Sk8r boi's so parasitic
Sucking my nuts like he tryna get back in my business
Back in my butt, whoa, he'd be lucky just to sniff it
I'm so in love with all my independent bitches
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She's not a therapist
Don't wanna take care of him
She's an independent girl
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
And now she's a heavy hitter
He needs a babysitter
But she's finally found her worth
Five years from now, in her beautiful home
Somebody else is making her moan
Sk8r boi is alone with his hand on his balls
Still punching holes through his basement walls
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
She's not a therapist
Don't wanna take care of him
She's an independent girl
He was a skater boy
She said, "See you later, boy"
He wasn't good enough for her
And now she's a heavy hitter
He needs a babysitter
But she's finally found her worth
The song "L8r Boi" by Ashnikko tells the story of a girl who rejected a boy who wasn't good enough for her. The lyrics reflect a society that often views women as caretakers, always ready to pick up the pieces for their partners, even when they don't deserve it. The girl in the song asserts her independence and shows that she is better off without the skater boy who won't even try to make her cum.
The girl sees herself as better off alone and doesn't need a therapist to take care of her. She goes on to sing about how she is having way more fun with her bitches and how she's in love with her damn self. The skater boy, on the other hand, can't seem to let her go and keeps calling her on the phone, in a desperate attempt to get back into her business.
The chorus of the song emphasizes how the skater boy just isn't good enough for her and how she has finally found her worth. The last verse of the song offers a glimpse into the future, where the girl is now in a beautiful home and with someone who makes her moan, while the skater boy is alone, still punching holes through his basement walls.
