Troy and Gabriella are the most notorious Romeo and Juliet pairs in all of Disney, but has this movie aged as well as you remember? Or maybe it's gotten even better? I want to tear it apart and find out what it is about this movie that stood the test of time.

This is probably because of an automatic bot but how did this ad get here 4 days ago when the video was uploaded an hour ago?
Yeaaah get that sponsorship
@@Hinatazuki It was PUBLISHED an hour ago. It was uploaded a while ago.

I went back and rewatched it years later and realized that HSM was really a lighter and softer remake Grease, but without a lot of the ick and includes fixing the moral to not be "change yourself for the person you love". It gave me a lot more respect for the movie... Even if I'll never get over how many times my sister made me listen to those songs.
Yeah, I think HSM had more structure than Grease. Like Grease had more random scenes to show off the relationship (like the dance that’s gonna be on tv was kinda random and they got over Danny doing sports to impress Sandy too quick). HSM scenes made sense from basketball to musical theater and how that affects their friends and the school
well that makes sense considering originally hsm was going to be grease 3, but they reworked it, so that makes sense
exactly since grease 2 bombed they scrapped the third film and it was sitting on Disney's shelf until 2006 when they decided to rework it and make hsm
I did this musical for school one year, ironically, a lot of students couldn't make it to rehersal because of Basketball and Volleyball so we needed to double cast all of the ensemble. But this musical does hold a special place in my heart because it was the first musical I was in.
'ironically' 😂
Off topic but now I'm in college, I'm upset ny high school classmates chose to do HSM instead of Monty Python and the Holy Grail 😒
The Status Quo song is an example of a non-diegetic song meaning within the reality of the movie they aren't singing and most likely are just gossiping
I’ve been saying this for years but stopped bc I wasn’t gonna keep shredding my voice if it’s just gonna fall on unwilling ears.
Thank u for this
@@MelanisticFox no problem :)
To be fair, him sneaking into her backyard is a very explicit reference to Romeo and Juliet which is what the whole movie was based on. Still a bit weird lmao
My favorite story about HMS influence was that our foreign exchange student from Norway thought that HMS was an accurate representation of American high school and that we all sang and danced in the hallways...the day one kid started playing ukulele in the halls she was like this is it here's the moment and was so disappointed when none of us broke out in dance!
Love u Auoura! Miss you loads!
I will never get over the fact Zac Efron did not do his own singing in this movie. Drew Seeley was dubbed over him.
wtf I never know that...especially when he clearly can sing in Greatest Showman I can only guess he wasn't well trained enough to get the performance they wanted??
It was only for the 1st movie, and he only did it cause Zac didn’t have enough confidence back then to do his own singing
@@anaphchan6783 I heard different, because Zac did record his singing for this movie (they just didn't use it), and he wanted his voice to be in the movie, so he had to "fight" for his voice to be in the rest of the HSM series.
@@junjunjamore7735 nope, he didn’t feel very confident in his singing voice at the time so they had someone sing for him in the 1st movie. But the other two movies he did sing.
Not completely. His voice was blended with Drew Seeley's. I think it's because a lot of Troy's parts required a singing voice that could hit those higher notes, and since Zac's singing voice is on the lower side, they had his voice for the lower parts and Drews for the higher ones. If you pay close attention to the songs 'Start of something new' and 'Breaking free' his first lines for both sound much more like Zac's voice than Drew's. It isn't until he gets into the songs that the blending takes effect.
the manscaped ad 😭
Exactly!
"The most bountiful bundle for your bodacious bod" 😭💀
Bro that manscaped ad is probably better then anything manscaped can create
@@dareeltrieseverything288 fr tho
It is so funny to me that the random singing isn't what's taking you out of the movie, it's people being *decent*. 🤣
Ah yes, the movie that gave all of us false ideas of what High School would be like when really it was just SCHOOL 3: But Now Everyone Sucks
*Fun Fact:* Lucas Grabeel, the actor who played the role as Sharpey's brother, is the same actor who also starred in the _Adventures of Food Boy,_ AKA that one movie that originated the "bathroom bread" cursed image.
It's not actually a DCOM.
@@cami_cosmos It's an Independent comedy film, based on a 2007 short film.
*Fun Fact:* Zac Efron didn't sing in the first HSM. The singing voice you hear is Drew Seeley.
Zeke is Sharpay's fling. She's ALWAYS wanting Troy every film.
For real until her fabulous adventure 😂
Which is very sad :(
Mexico had a reality tv special (similar to like American Idol) were the winners would be the six protagonist in the Mexican version of HSM! And what’s cool about that version is that they had changes that applied to the culture of Mexico like changing basketball to soccer. Also they had big Mexican pop stars perform Spanish versions of songs like “What I’ve Been Looking For” and “You Are The Music In Me”. HSM was huge when I was a kid in Mexico! And when I moved to the USA this movie was my way to connect with people in a place so new to me and was also my bridge to learning English. I’ll never forget “Together” means “Juntos”.
I'm from Europe and I'm learning Spanish (Spain, not the Mexican one), but I thought juntos meant Everyone .
That's so cool
Everyone means "Todos" ;)
@@luciamartinezpena5319 Ah ty, sorry I got confused, I'm kinda bad at Spanish.
I think I remember that movie... But it is so shady memories that I am not sure if I really seen the whole thing or just one scene when the boys singing on the football field.
"Yeah I could ship it" is EXACTLY how I felt about Sharpay and Zeke and I didn't like how they just dropped it in the later movies
This movie has Ashley Tisdale, therefore it is great! It introduced me to Ashley and I bought her first CD right after!
The movie also introduced me to Ashley Tisdale way before I knew about Candace Flynn from Phineas and Ferb.
When I was young I actually thought she was Jessica Simpson......
There where too many blondes
I just felt the need to say Ashley is a great singer and she seems like a nice person, but Sharpay is not the victim of the story.
@@drewhaynes1874 😂😂😂😂 funny thing is ashley is actually a brunette
Most of the super smart people in my school were also jocks. There were only like 5 of them who didn’t do a sport/physical exercise of some kind. And the only smart people who weren’t popular were socially awful, even for high schoolers. And by socially awful, I mean borderline harassing other people.
The high school I graduated from, which prided itself on pumping out good SAT scores, was also very open about the fact you don't need college. They advertised different paths, like trades and internships and the military, and required career counseling
I'm curious what the other school thought when East High just starts rubbing their victory in through an extended dance number
I did a little digging, and found that those with female parts can also use the Manscaped products for our own purposes. I've been curious if perhaps there was a female equivalent, (Womanscaped, for example) and expected a bunch of pink products. But no, the original products are unisex, which is good, cause companies bank off of the Pink Tax. With all this in mind, I'll at least consider getting the Lawnmower for myself.
honestly, the dad apologizing makes way more sense to me than the friends apologizing. A good dad is able to pick up on their kids' state of mind. I've had plenty of times where my dad has said or done something that upset me, or put pressure on me when he didn't necessarily mean to, and he HAS come to me, unprompted, and apologized for them. So I could very easily see Troy's dad seeing how he was affecting his son, realizing he's been a bit of a shit, and coming to apologize to him before the big game, especially since it might make him feel a bit better and might even help him play better (not that I'm suggesting Dad Bolton had ulterior motives for it or anything lol)
Side note, Satoshi Kon's Paprika also came out in 2006. You know, the movie that inspired Christopher Nolan's Inception. Just emphasizing you are right when you say that year was wild. Have not yet seen Paprika, but I plan to.
I highly recommend. I learned about Paprika through the song by Japanese Breakfast which was inspired by the movie.
The amount of times the word B-BALL was mentioned sent me 🤣
Sharpay said 'break a leg" literally, because if Gabriella can't perform than she gets to.
It is campy, but it's just so enjoyable. In my last few years of school and the first years into university, I did a yearly rewatch of the trilogy (sometimes not finishing the 3rd, I admit) around the times I was most stressed out at, and it actually helped me through what would be my country's equivalent to high school. It's ironically beautiful and a beautiful irony.
wdym your country's equiv to high school???
@@annejia5382 in germany, high school and middle school have a combined schoolform, but there are different versions of those, some for higher education, some not
@@Frantasia same from where im from but like the 2 years generation younger than me they experienced the change in the system to k-12. during my time elem is 1-6 ( ave. 7-12 yrs old), high school is 1-4 (now 6-10, ave. 13-16 yrs old) then college is 1-4 for the basic 4 yr courses and 5 for others (ave. 17-20 yrs old) so your education usually closes at 20 yrs old.
@@annejia5382 In Germany elem is 1-4 and after that you have too choose between 3 schools. Hauptschule is 5-9, Realschule is 5-10 and Gymnasium is 5-13. These schools give you different levels of education and you can learn different jobs or go to university depending on which school you graduated from
man HSM2 is a certified banger though
i actually really enjoy the "sharpay is a lesbian with comphet for troy and she is actually in love with gabriella" analysis of her character
High School FREAKIN Musical 😂😂😂 I love how he's more hyper enthusiastic than usual
3:04 if I remember correctly zac efron was lip singing in the first movie, so maybe that’s why.
You're right. The guy that did the singing ends up in 'Another Cinderella Story' with Selena Gomez.
Which made a cousin of mine say the whole thing was dubbed so it didn't matter if you saw it dubbed in another language or not... But the first movie wasn't translated into our first language, so they'll swap languages throughout the movie...
@@COSun25 Yup friggin DREW SEELEY!! Honestly after you hear him and zac singing you cannot not hear drew when troy sings.
HSM was such a big and influencial cultural phenomenon. I still remember the poll they had back in the day to pick which fellow Disney Channel star to cameo at the end of HSM 2. I made history by voting for Miley Cyrus to appear for all of 3 seconds.
I think the reason I never liked or got into Highschool musical was because in my school the popular kids all did theater and the teacher in charge of the theater groups played favorites massively. It was pretty normal for the 'popular' kids to be in the plays, and because of how that teacher was most of the outcasts or individuals who you'd think would really enjoy theater stayed really far away from it.
I never understood the unpopular smart sweet kid thing. Like I was the class nerd and I'm good at chameleoning into groups, so I didn't have a bunch of friends, but I knew everyone and the one time someone tried to bully me, it lasted half a day once people found out lmao
I graduated high-school in 2009. For context, the high-school opened up as a 7-to-9 charter school which added class years every year, and I was part of the inaugural 7th-grade class...so when I graduated 12th-grade/legitimate senior year there was only like 50 or so students in my graduating class.
I graduated valedictorian, and was a member of both the Robotics Club and the Math Club despite my curriculum being more of the natural sciences. (Though I was also in the Theater Club, Keyboard Ensemble/Music Club, and participated loosely on the Track team enough that when I went to the 5-year reunion I was apparently a legend...)
There was a year, actually like 2005 or early 2006, where the one person attempted to push me down the stairs because I was both a Nerd/Geek and a Theater Kid. I was able to catch my balance and instead slammed my entire backpack filled with every textbook I had (because only a few weeks before one of their friends had used 'going to the bathroom' as an excuse to vandalize my locker in the middle of a class period!) into them, causing them to instead be the one pushed down the stairs.
The next year, 2006/2007, some of their friends realized that I would help the few friends I had either in letting them copy my homework or even teaching them the subjects when there was something they didn't understand. But that whenever the bully tried to get my homework I would literally destroy it and redo the entire assignment in the class it was due.
There was one time towards the end of the 2006-2007 school year, where the person who tried to push me down the stairs even tried to grab my homework as I was waiting with my weed-smoking friends for the doors to open. The bully demanded I hand my homework over, so I grabbed my friend's lighter and burned the assignment which was literally due in less than 20 minutes.
And almost absolutely the reason for that popularity was because I was the reason most of them graduated or got sports scholarships or such.
It wasn't until Spring 2009 that I would say I was genuinely "popular", and even then I wasn't actually aware because my entire habit since the school opened and I began having my books and notebooks stolen and even my clothes stolen during the middle of gym class...was to not talk with anyone more than I had to.
Because we had so few students, my Junior and Senior years of High-School combined the Junior and Senior classes for prom. And my unawareness of my popularity, because no one told me that I was popular and I almost never talked to anyone who didn't originally begin talking to me, meant that I intentionally didn't tell my parents about prom my Junior year...and then my parents actually forced me to go to Prom my Senior Year. I only realized I was popular when, after the mandatory "Prom Queen slow-dances with Prom King" song, the Prom Queen and Prom Princess (the Junior year's prom-queen equivalent) had a little play-fight over who would get to dance with me first.
And even with that, I was expecting a Carrie situation where they dump pig's blood on my head at the end of the dance. Or intentionally stick their foot out and cause me to fall over it in the middle of a song. Because there would have been no other reason for the Prom Queen to ask the Valedictorian to a dance.
----
Actually, that highlights that this movie had arguably a MASSIVE impact on cultural zeitgeist. I'm curious how many of my classmates would watch High-School Musical repeatedly or find themselves singing the songs and, because of the "do what you love"/"we're stronger together" "anti-segregation/anti-clique" message, eventually decided to actually try speaking to the Smart Nerdy Loner Kid.
I remember one of my FAVORITE line deliveries was Troy's dad, as he was walking into the auditorium and saw Troy and his bestie, and he went 'What the heck are those two doin' in a tree?!'
Just the WAY he said it cracks me up tbh
No one is vocally appreciating the manscaped ad, but I do, it was so funny, I love it so much
Thank you so much for this jem
HSM. The Movie that was very popular for Disney! They even made a series! 🏀
no way
@@sodashiira1894 yes. On Disney+. It's called "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series"
I loved the movie a lot when it first aired on cable tv and when they announced the airing of the 2nd movie, I made myself a big paper banner (made by gluing together 4 pieces of intermediate papers) to remind myself everyday of when it'd be on tv and I taped it on the wall across my bed lol. I agree that on rewatch now that I'm older, it'd be easy to see how cheese it was but it's still fun to watch.
There's often these reactions from people looking back on a thing they liked in childhood and asking themselves "Why did I like this? What's wrong with me?" but when I rewatched the HSM movies, I never felt that way. I knew why I loved it back then and why I still enjoy it.
High school musical came out when I was in HS, I believe my freshman year, but like my experiences with high school was all the most popular kids were also the smartest ones. I mean it was also a super tiny school just starting out, my freshman class came in when the school had its first set of seniors lol, but no one was ever made fun of for being smart. In my grade the girl that was at the top of the class was also on sports teams while volunteering. No one really got picked on outside of a few people. But I mean if these movies got with the times theyd have to come up with more complex problems than bullying and social perception.
My school was similar, though it started a couple years before HSM released and began as a 7-to-9 school where the second year of operation the 9th-grade class became the 10th-grade class and then the next year that 10th-grade class became the 11th-grade class... etc.
I was always on the top of the class, was always volunteering, and was a member of both the Track team and Math Club.
There was one year, like the third year so I was in 9th grade at the time, where for the full week when we had Gym Class one of my classmates would steal my uniform and I would have to spend the rest of the school-day in my gym clothes until the faculty opened every locker to find the stolen clothes. Which would get that person suspended or having Saturday detention, but the next day another of my classmates would steal my clothes...and then that student got the same punishment and then the next day another classmate would steal my clothes.
That wasn't the first or the last time my clothes would be stolen during gym class, but that was the longest consecutive span of it.
Also that time one of the students tried to push me down the stairs for, as far as I know because I didn't even talk with anyone!, being the smartest kid in the class. Instead, they failed and I ended up pushing them down the stairs instead. Can you say a week's suspension and having to attend Saturday Detention (which I got out of partway through because the Math Teacher/head of Math Club came down and pulled me out)?
Almost certainly the shift where "all the most popular kids were also the smartest ones" happened was in the immediate time-span surrounding when HSM was being made and aired.
When you get to making a video on the second movie, you should mention that the D+ HSM Series is still going on, getting renewed for a 4th season.
Pls do a what happened to the owl house once its finished, I just found out disney cancelled it and I'm very salty and disney deserves to get dunked on for this poor life choice. Plus the owl house is really really good, obviously what you do is your choice but I do feel it would be a fun video
high school musical was such a massive thing in my household growing up we wouldnt go a week without playing the singalong ps2 game. even my mom would join in with me and my sister singing every single song from hsm1&2. the only time me and my sister could get along until she got angry that she couldnt hit the high notes in gabriella’s solo and i could, then she would throw the mic at me and leave. god thinking about it still makes me smirk 😂
Aww that's so nice 😍
No you are right, if you're really actually super smart or did well in class in general (cuz you don't always have to be super smart to do well in class), weren't a jerk about it, willing to help out you but not a doormat, were at the least decently liked. I'd argue the most popular girl at 1st grade was the smart one who was willing to help and I was better liked then some others smart girls or boys because I was the one who wasn't so snobbish about it. This could differ region to region, but I do think media tends to overexaggerate the smart person hate which I think was affected by how some smart people are snobbish or just lacks social skills (the latter I do kinda relate).
Hon, first period was homeroom- where major announcements will be said or handed out and the school’s attendance for state funding was taken. It’s very short and while in some school’s it is combined with an actual class but obviously not in the HSM universe- I definitely understand this critique but I will also defend it till the day I die.
I remember the books. I ordered them in a set from the scholastic book order service that elementary schools periodically had. Lost them at some point in the packing process when my apartment’s kitchen needed to be repaired and renovated though.
The three books that I remembered the most were the one where they took a trip to New York, the one where they took their SATs, and the one that had prom (or was it a different dance event? All I remember is that the theme of the event was that guys couldn’t ask out the girls, only the reverse was allowed, and Gabriela was too distracted from overhearing a misleading phone conversation her mother had to ask out Troy, with some Sharpay interference involved.
Kelsi (the pianist) was 100% my sapphic goals
Negative Legend I want to see if you can review Hamilton and The Greatest Showman along with other Broadway Musicals because I'm a big fan of Broadway Musicals and I love them, I went to see Aladdin three times.

That trilogy was directed by the best director ever in Disney channel movies Kenny Ortega
Not to mention the director of Newsies.
He’s pretty talented.

Ad: Arby’s prime cut rib!
Negative: -songs
Don’t know if UA-cam did it on purpose or accident but it made me laugh
The status quo song is pretty catchy, but kind of weird when you listen to it as you’re older. You had a jock who has a backup career if basketball doesn’t work out, a brain who is more well-rounded and appreciates the arts, and a skater “bum“ that appreciates classical music. The ones with actual goals outside of high school are told to “stay in their lane “
Sad fact: the actor that played the skater dude was arrested for robbing a pizzeria he used to work at gunpoint a couple years ago. Thankfully no one was hurt
also im going to add that sharpay doesnt?? actually seem to be *popular* when you look at how people react to her? like shes the rich as hell theater kid who has a big ego but no one?? (other than her brother) seems to actually *Like* her,, like at all
Since we're talking about High School Musical... YO WHAT TEAM!!!

omg i haven't watched your videos for a while and,,,, YOUR HAIR IS SO LONG AND PRETTY
If you're curious what it's like in highschool... literally everyone takes AP courses because they want to get into collage... and they all hate it because it's too much work and (according to my friends) the teachers suck-
In a musical the point of the music is the drive the plot. So in the song stick to status quo, they are actually singing in universe it’s a conversation being had.
From your fellow theatre major
High School Musical, the movie where Zac Efron looks exactly like Light Yagami
I mean this in the nicest way possible but I don't think that's what "Titular" means
Also my only high school musical memory was going to a high school musical 3 themed birthday party in 1st grade
Very entertaining video!
When I was in elementary school we watched this and a middle school production of it. We also had this do a compare and contrast assignment on them lol
I will still never get over the fact Zac Efron was lip syncing because Drew Seeley was actually who was singing and if i remember right he even played Troy Bolton for the High School Musical Concerts
He did, because Zac was filming Hairspray at the moment, if i remember correctly
Love the vid your the best at wat you do🤩 btw love your macup , and them freckles are super cute
It’s such a wonderful surprise to see that you’re uploading more often now! Whenever I see ur videos on my feed I get so excited! 🎉
That legends edit just killed me laughing @12:55
Oh negative you’re gonna love this comment I got,
So I used to be a stage crew person in high school and my junior year they did HSM. We PLAYED UP the crème brûlée scene. And the guy playing Zeke really owned it. Like for some reason he used the most suggestive face. You know it’s high school when it’s like that. ALSO ALSO I swear all the thespians chose our rehearsals for promposals! Like there was 2 or 3 promposals during the 3 weeks leading up to the show 😂 and it was the grandiose type too. Because… thespian
This was a fun video! I'd honestly love to hear you talk about the foreign high school musical remakes. I watched the Argentina one and it was pretty fun. Also interesting to get that little peak into a foreign culture at that age.
It's been a good ten years since I've watched the HSM movies in their entirety, but it always struck me just how damn big Troy's house and backyard were. His dad is a high school basketball coach. What kind of money is he making? I mean, we don't know what Troy's mom does for a living, but was real estate that damn cheap in Albequerque?
I literally JUST added the soundtrack from this movie to my shuffle lmao, the songs slap so hard.
omg I’m from South America and HSM: El Desafio was a whole reality competition show to choose the six main characters for the adaptation. I remember watching the show and CRYING when the guy who played Troy won bc he was my fave. And then the movie was really bad lmao
Great video!! This movie was a big part of my life. Idk if it’s aged well, but I still remember it fondly.
Was lowkey too insecure to watch it in high school. When i got over that i can easily say Sharpay was 1 of my favorite things, and her song was catchy as hell. I miss fun mean girl characters.
You were cute posing whenever they said ''legend.''
oh gosh i got introduced to this channel just two days ago and I'm loving it! Also, yes, Argentina's version was awesome and I was lucky enough to both watch the argentinian version and also to be able to attend the concert they gave here all those years ago.
i feel like you would be one of the surfers in teen beach movie
Always assumed the “smart/genius/nerd one being the unpopular loser outcast that gets bullied” is just a western american thing, where i’m from they’re considered to be pretty popular, everybody appreciates and relied on them to teach us things when we’re too afraid to ask the teachers and those nerds are happy to do it
14:19 “how rich are these people?” Troy’s mom must be making bank because there’s no way his dad could afford that on a teacher’s salary.
You should do a video talking about the new movie that Netflix did : The School of Good and Evil
that is based on a series of books
TROY'S BEEN THE REAL VILLAIN THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND
Troy: Dad, i can do both.
I wasn't popular. It wasn't because I was good at school. It was because socially awkward and sensitive were my middle names. I didn't NOT like being called nicknames etc. (This got better in High School but I was in online school for most of my high school time.) Also, I had a talent for embarrassing myself, way worst than most kids. I didn't connect with most of the kids, and they didn't connect with me.
I don't know where the need for having stereotypes for high schoolers comes from, there were some brilliant kids at my school who could be on the honor roll and were really good at school sports. As someone that couldn't even figure out how to play soccer after several PE classes and after-school lessons in elementary school, and had to kick the ball around. I am jealous that they could do one sport let alone more than one. I am only good at walking and skiing if I can not freak out lol.
Honestly, I do absolutely love High School Musical and all its cheesiness. The characters are also perfect for angsty fanfiction. Like on the levels of Danny Phantom Fanfiction. It is beautiful.
Overall it is an outdated stereotype, they should be making jokes about the know-it-all kind od person. Sadly, I have channeled that a few times.
Answers from a musical theatre nerd:
A lot of the songs that are not literally being performed are called Non-diegetic songs
Meaning they aren’t happening within the context of the show, and instead are there to represent either the conflict happening at the moment or the internal dialogue.
So the status quo song in a non musical context would be written as a bunch of kids being honest to their respective cliques about their hobbies and pretty much their friends either making fun of them cause they think it’s lame or they start interacting with the other cliques on shared interest and Sharpey is not liking it because it’s giving her paranoia about her having potential competition in the one thing she feels confident in and she doesn’t like change that doesn’t benefit her.
Meanwhile since the news of Troy and Gabriella auditioning is shocking to this cliquey school, both them being non theatre/music kids and them being from arguably the most stereotypically opposite cliques, people stare at Gabriella because they both are seeing the known rich drama Queen have a run for her money, and that the popular jock boy is getting with the new nerdy girl because they auditioned together so they must be a couple right? At least, according to these weird high schoolers so obsessed with two people that have nothing to do with them.
I love all of your content, but I must say I'm excited to see some DCOM stuff again!
At my high school if you were smart and at least decently good looking, you were part of the popular kids. Of course if you were also a cheerleader or part of the poms team or a jock? You were also popular too but more than half of them were actually pretty smart and I'm just talking about the girls. The guys on the other hand different story but if you were a smart pretty girl like school smart not street smart then you were popular
I remember this one girl. She was so nice to everyone. She was also one of the smartest kids in our grade because she stayed in the regular classes and not go into the AP classes because it's smarter to be the best in your class when it's easier to be the best in your class She was also very pretty blonde. She was tiny, thin and she was an ice skater. Everyone knew her everyone loved her and she was also very kind and it wasn't a fake kind of nice. It was genuine kindness which made it really hard to hate her.
And she also had a really pretty name too that wasn't very common.
On the other hand, if you're pretty, but people get jealous of you because you're just pretty and maybe a little dumb or get excited about things that aren't very popular at that time You're known as the crazy pretty psycho that was the rumor that was spread about me. That's why people specifically boys did not want to go out with me cuz even though they thought I was pretty every time they heard about me they hurt. I was also psycho. It was not true. I got excited about Doctor Who geeky things and I didn't make friends very well because I was socially awkward and ADHD. So yeah high school was not what it was promised to be like. It wasn't the cliques you were prepared for. It was the cliques you weren't prepared for.
a couple of weeks ago in my gemontry class a writer for the new highschool musical series was there to tell us about our career paths and what its like being a writer. also he flat out admitted that he really did not care for it as a whole. just thought it would be interesting to say.
I still remember taking my high school music CD, throwing it in my CD player, tossing that into my pocket, and then riding down to the park to climb atop the replica tank and sit and listen to it
I recently rewatched the trilogy with my boyfriend and we love it even more now than when we were kids. The songs are still straight up bops and aged well imo. As for your comment about the plothole of them singing when they were against singing, I think musicals are meant to be enjoyed by observing from the meta perspective. We as the audience see and hear them sing and dance, but they are not actually doing so. It is only written that way to help the flow of the story as well as cram everything needed in the limited time they have. Of course with songs like the intro one at the party, they are actually singing and dancing because they are expected to in that situation. Same as when they are auditioning or rehearsing. I guess it's just confusing to know how their universe works when they sing and dance in so many different situations.

I love how you post a hsm video on the 14 year anniversary of hsm3
Now you gotta talk about HSMTMTS.
as a high-schooler in a small town, yeah the smart kids are now the metaphorical middle class of kids that are just there
Is it just me or this is way more chaotic than anything else they've made so far?
never watched or had intrest with the HSM franchies BUT, i reallly love the memes that came out of it and the funny persona 5 videos of Akechi been himself singing some songs from the movies
Wait, all of those things are from 2006? I'm old...

that was the best manscaped ad ive ever seen, their company should actually use that for their own ads 😂😂😂
Every time Negative brought up the school singing and questioning why they're against Troy or Gabriella singing if the school's singing, I just shouted "NON DIEGETIC MUSIC!"
I loved this movie as a kid. Lol. It’s still good and I enjoy watching it with my kids.
Through the whole video I was like, “oh wait until the second one….and third” haha like to every joke or anything you had to criticize. Especially the but you just sang and danced in the cafeteria!

Yes I agree, the smart kid knew everybody and everybody knew the smart kid, so anyone who did tease them were a social outcast
