  Maybe because they secretly wish that high school had never ended? That their best days are behind them?  Idk… it’s sad if that’s true and it probably isn’t but…. Sigh
context: You might be a little late to the party lol. High School Musical hasn't been a phenomenon for what feels like centuries. It's a DCOM, so it being corny as shit, predictable, and loaded with 2000s stereotypes is very on brand. Back when it was insanely popular, I would agree with you. I think a lot of the appeal was that it was like Grease for the 2000s and was a fairly accurate (by exaggerated musical standards) depiction of how kids were like and how cliques were super well defined. HSM was how I first learned how to ironically like things. I never liked the movies as movies, but I loved to laugh at how stupid everything was, so Disney Channel definitely got my views during those premieres. >
  
  apparently i’m in the wrong circles. my friends lose their shit when i say that >
