HE WAS A SKATER BOY I SAID TO YA ‘LATER BOY THE TREE OF LIBERTY HAS BEEN WATERED

A grainy split-screen image shows an armed person in a green shirt carrying a rifle, followed by a skater-like figure raising an arm at night. The captions parody the lyrics of Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” and turn the cheerful “later, boy” line into dark revolutionary or violent imagery. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone leaving or being defeated.
