Okay, I just want to say that @lightningstorm115 once came up with a crossover of «Cars» and «High School Musical». They both saved vibe 2006 so I wanted to consider it! This isn't the last art with this idea, definitely not the last... Because in this story, as in the story of the original, one day a new generation appears...
I know Cal and Bobby weren't in the first cars, but if they perform with Lightning in the third part, it means that they are about the same age and their youth was in 2006!
A reference from "high school musical" in the comments!!

what happened to high school?
When I was young, I thought high school students were so cool and grown up. I watched as they started driving, dating, having sex, and going to parties and I couldn't wait to be that fun age. Now that I am in high school, where has the fun gone?
As people have realized, generations are starting to look younger and younger. When you imagine a senior in high school, you often don't imagine the people that I go to school with. Their baby faces haven't gone away and the growth spurts have not hit yet. Part of the appeal of high school is the feeling of adulthood and maturity, not only in the classes you take or your social endeavors, but in the way you look. I don't know if it's because there isn't as much of an age gap between myself and a senior in high school now, but when I was little, they just looked so old. I don't see that anymore.
Also, technology is nowhere near new and exciting. It's a part of our everyday lives and I will resent that for the rest of my life. While it comes in handy for teaching and grading, and Google is a major plus, it shouldn't be our only source of school these days. I rarely get assignments on paper and honestly, I wish they were. I want physical copies and mementos from my high school days. Not to mention, I don't even have a real school identification card. It's in an app.
When social media and technology was new and exciting, it acted as a third space for teenagers. Like malls and roller rinks in the eighties and nineties, Tik Tok, Instagram and Tumblr are the "hang-out spots" for teenagers in the late 2010s and 2020s. In the early to mid-2010s, teenagers still went to malls and roller rinks to hang with friends while also adjusting to the new online world. It was a place for teenagers to communicate their ideas and express themselves. Now it has become a part of everything. I almost never have conversations where someone doesn't whip out their phone mid sentence
Also, we have no defining trends for our generation. Social media has brought forth something called the microtrend. A song, make-up look or body type will be a trend for two weeks before out short-attention spanned peers decide it's not interesting or cool anymore and move on to something else. While the nineties had grunge and glamor and the eighties had acid wash denim and big hair, the 20s has....leggings? And Utah curls? What I mean is, when you think of the 1990s, a specific image comes to mind. Grunge music and dark eye make-up. When you think of the eighties you picture big curly hair and neon spandex. When you think of the 2020s, nothing in specific comes to mind because we can't decide on one thing. Nothing is interesting or cool enough anymore. We live in such a capitalist, consumerist society that once we engage in something too much, it becomes boring and we have to find something else. Social media and influencers only amplify that. I don't know if it's Gen-Z's push-back on being categorized or defined by anything, or if nothing is good enough anymore.
And don't even get me started on the music. In the 20th-century, different music trends came and went. In the 70s hair metal and power ballads became huge. In the 80s glam metal, synth, and pop started to materialize and in the 90s alternative rock, grunge, nu metal, and boy-bands made their breakthrough. This overbearing control of the music industry made music a novelty and allowed teenagers to be a part of a subculture. When punk came about in the 70s and goth in the 70s and 80s, it allowed teenagers to interact with another and create relationships because of the subculture they identified with. This made high school the stereotypical version we see in 90s and early-2000s movies. The goths sit over here and the popular kids sit over there. Even in the 90s with grunge and the 2000s with emo. Though to come it seemed “clique-y”, it made making friends and self-expression more cohesive and less stand-out. Even into the early 2010s, those who liked pop punk, didn’t hangout with the kids who like mainstream pop or trap beats.
With the rise of the influencer and easy access to higher paying or earning jobs, anybody can make music, even if they’re horrible at it. Content creators online put out singles or albums that sample the same beats as everybody else and have the same dense and shallow lyrics, where it is obvious they’re trying to sound deep and meaningful but they’re fully missing the mark. It’s hard to want to claim a genre or use a specific sound or style of music to identify your generation or simply the people you hangout with. New music doesn’t have that power anymore. New major music genres have not been pioneered since the 90s with grunge and nu metal. People that are making music aren’t creative and the creatives aren’t making music.
The things people listen to and the way that they dress says a lot about them. For teenagers, it has said everything about them. However in the last ten years, social media and technology has ripped those ideals away from us. Nobody wants to be perceived as one thing. They want to be everything and nothing is good enough to define anybody anymore. Tik Tok has ruined the essence and the glowing aura that once was the teenager.

Collab with @neoxghoul 🍼🍼💗
"Ah Ah Ah Buh Buh Buh Ah Ah Ah Buh Buh Buh Ah Ah Ah Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh Buh"
Favourite "Crybaby" music video:
My favourite "Crybaby" music video is "Alphabet Boy". It reminds me of my childhood, when i was a little girl there was this boy who thought he was smarter than me and bullied me, he bullied me for my teeth and for how I look. At school he'd tell me how dumb i am and he'd brag about how smart he was, even tho we were in the same class i was older than him beucase my parents signed me up too late for school and lost one year. I remember he'd also bully me beucase i have a rare allergy where i can only eat 7 foods only. He'd try to shove food into my mouth even tho he knew i was allergic. This is the reason why i relate to this song and the music video. That's why it's my favourite. 🍼💗🔤👼🏻🍭

*Disc Scratch*
Alright, let's start again, shall we?
Last time I visited this blog, I was 22 years old. It's been 2 years now, and I think it's about time to reintroduce myself, hmm?
My name is Denisse, and I am a fan artist. For the last two years, here's my new interests:
• I discovered my interest in Greek Mythology. A bit overdue because most of my peers had this fascination in Greek Myth when we we're in high school, and I just shrugged it off like it was some nerdy sht. Turns out I'd be down to study it too in my mid-20s.
• Along with my interest in Greek Myth, I also fell in love with medias that are related to the myths, like Lore Olympus, Hooked on Chthonics, Gods' School: The Olympian Gods, and EPIC: The Musical. (Side note: I already lost interest in reading LO. It's been long overdue and the story is going nowhere.)
• Surprisingly, I also fell in love with anime, specifically Jujutsu Kaisen. I am DOWN BAD for Geto (not really) and Choso is my kin (how do you use that word? Kin? What I really mean is that I heavily relate to Choso).
• JoanFK? I've lost interest. CH S2 ruined them, and I have moved on from them.
• I also have gotten over my Trese and Disney interests since... The fandom is awfully quiet. I miss Trese though. I'm still interested to collect all 8 books since they already released the 8th volume.
I'll be posting some of my favorite works for the last two years here on a daily basis until we're all in sync with my IG page. And I hope you'll be there to support me.
See y'all soon 🫶🏼
