With their long, shaggy hair and astonishingly-designed skateboards, skater boys are energetic, carefree, and laid back, which is especially appealing to girls nowadays. Skater boys wear brands like Huf and Spitfire, cuffed Dockies, and the shoe brand Vans. As they do tricks off buildings or ramps, their skinny, tattooed bodies sway through the air. At times, these boys can have attitudes like when building owners emerge to complain about what they’re doing. Vinnie Hacker is a popular skater boy whom a lot of girls know from TikTok.
