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 >
  
  Welcome to Disney! >
  
  That shot sucked when it was on and so do all of the ones that enabled it to be on for as long as it was…. Which wasn’t very… hahahhah >
  
  yeah i knowww all my friends are weirdly nostalgic about it and i can’t stand it >
  
  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 >
