HSM3: No it is not a new disease but as if it were

If you’re over 20 years old and not a parent yet, then you probably don't know what HSM3 is and you probably feel the same way I do about this subject: High School Musical is a retarded, lame commercial representation that -in no way- portrays actual high school experiences accurately -or this generation- or half of adolescents in the world for that matter. Plus; it’s made to rob parents out of their hard-earned money and to launch a new breed of so called “teen stars” with the sole purpose of replacing Britney Spears.

If you’re over 20, you do like High School Musical and you’re proudly searching for the release date of their new movie High School Musical 3: Senior Year then this just in for you: you are a moron.

And hey, don’t get aggressive on me: I don’t mean to be a pain, I respect everyone’s likes and dislikes but I am an angry little lady, and so it is my duty to say these things.

I really don’t know what’s up with Americans and musicals. Honestly. When I was a kid, I considered sitting to watch Mary Poppins a cruel method of torture. The sappy songs, the overly dramatized goodness of this bullshit nanny… Agghh, it was all sickening to me, even as an angry little kid.  But you gotta hand it to High School Musical: a bunch of talentless, egothistical kids singing these really dull songs that sound like a mutation between N’Sync and the Backstreet Boys (I told everyone we should’ve killed them when we had a chance before they bred!).

Is this what we’re giving tweens to feed on? I know my generation had the New Kids on the Block and yes, they were pretty lame too but even we acknowledged it back then. Don’t try to disguise these kids as talented. Don’t try to make parents buy every f’ing sequel or album because there’s a new one every single month, or so it seems at least. Now it’s the Senior Year. Oh good God! did they finally graduate? Great! I thought they were too busy flirting, singing and making drama. Oh and doing some really lousy acting as well. Just check out some of the titles Disney took out:

• High School Musical 2 Non-Stop Dance Party
  
• High School Musical Hits Collection
  
• High School Musical 2
  
• High School Musical (Special Edition)
  
• High School Musical: The Concert
  

Yes the multi-colored list is on purpose!*

Oh really? Don’t they have High School Musical Rehab Special: One day at a time and High School Musical Teenage Parenting edition?  Oh! And how about High School Musical: Scientology hymns … I bet you no one’s thought of that one yet!

In any case, our society is to blame first for this phenomenon. We take whatever the media gives us.  A sharp marketing guru says: let’s dress up these 20 yr. old schmucks and portray them as innocent 15 yr. old high school kids, make them sing catchy idiotic songs – don’t worry about the lyrics, have the janitor write ‘em- and then let ‘em loose. A good percentage will mess up and the scandals alone will bring us some pretty quick bucks in the future. How about that? Ok I’m done for the day. And voila! Enter HSM3 the Senior Year.

Even annoying teenagers agree with me… Don’t believe me? Check out this 15 year old boy complaining about it! (If you get past his awkward haircut and his homophobia, his rant is pretty valid so that’s why he’s earned a spot in my heart and should earn a spot in a barber shop too! )
