Woah now.
We got a whole thread here talking bout the Whoniverse! What is you talkum bout?
Not to mention my kids sing the songs of Queen, Kansas, and Journey - they don't listen to rap.
Now, I'll admit I don't like watching golf but I bet it's better to play. Unless its Mario Golf. That game was boss.
I got teased a lot in high school because I liked shit that "Black" kids didn't like. I grow up in the world, and now Black kids like that shit. Folks just need to get out more. It's this type of thinking that's the reasoning behind why Black chicks wasn't digging Donald Glover. Jus' Sayin'.
Manny and Emma should be inductees into the NPO club..
"They will also make excellent additions to the House.."

What Euphoria Owes to Degrassi, the Godfather of Taboo Teen Dramas
By Ilana Kaplan

In Euphoria’s fourth episode, Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie) shows up to a carnival in a racy two-piece outfit that looks more like it belongs at a club in Atlantic City than it does at a high-school event. (Truthfully, we’ve all been there.) Upon seeing her outfit, her hotheaded, on-again, off-again boyfriend Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi) tells her she looks “like a hooker” in her crop top and matching spandex pants. But as I watched, I couldn’t look away from those purple pants, which were fashioned with three string cutouts, like a triple thong. The thong wings plagued at me.
That’s when I remembered another major moment in teen TV history: the iconic thong episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation. The 2003 episode, titled “U Got the Look,” centered its plot on Manny Santos’s (Cassie Steele) desire to go from “adorable” to “hot.” So, naturally, she does what any teen would do: She shows up to school clad in a crop top, a pair of low-rise jeans, and a blue-studded thong (more than) peeking out of her jeans. And, like Maddy, she gets shamed for it, but the outfit eventually marks an empowering turning point when she starts to find her confidence and own her sexuality — a through line shared by Maddy and the young women of Euphoria throughout its inaugural season.
Years before Euphoria, Degrassi was the boundary-pushing teen drama of its era. The Canadian franchise, which has aired in various iterations for the past 30 years, became famous for its realistic, and often scandalous, plotlines featuring sexuality, drugs, abortion, abuse, and school shootings. Euphoria, which features provocative narratives ranging from a trans girl being raped by her classmate’s dad to a character finding confidence by being a cam girl, owes its ability to tackle such taboo teen story arcs to Degrassi. Manny’s thong, alongside countless other Degrassi moments, paved the way for teen dramas to get bolder, racier, and more complex.
“I feel like we were pioneering … that’s why shows like [Euphoria] can be extreme as they are,” says Yan Moore, a longtime Degrassi writer and producer. “We showed it could be okay to explore fairly extreme situations.”
Since its inception, Degrassi’s plotlines were less conventional than what network shows often featured; it created story lines that teens actually encountered in reality. The show’s tagline was “it goes there,” and it really did go there. Degrassi put its own spin on dozens of issues that other shows were too afraid to talk about: internet predators, teen pregnancy, self-harm, school shootings, and, infamously, abortion, in an episode that was shelved by its U.S. distributor, making it one of the most controversial of its time.
Taking cues from Degrassi, later teen dramas like Skins, Gossip Girl, The O.C., Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters, and 13 Reasons Why captured unsettling — and, at times, divisive — depictions of rape and suicide, while shows like Sex Education featured plotlines about homophobic violence and a true-to-life look at getting an abortion.
Based on an Israeli series of the same name, Euphoria is executive-produced by Drake, who famously (and coincidentally) starred on Degrassi: The Next Generation, however, it’s mined from the experiences of showrunner and former drug addict Sam Levinson. But while Degrassi sometimes seemed corny and overwrought, Euphoria approaches serious and taboo topics with self-deprecating dark humor — the irony-tinged lingua franca of modern teen culture. All that explicit language and NSFW imagery likely wouldn’t have been possible if Degrassi didn’t pave the way for teen soaps, and Euphoria pushes what Degrassi started into the 2019 realm: a world where teens are immersed in a digital age that’s blurred the lines of porn, sex, and consent.
It’s something that encompasses the majority of the characters’ lives on Euphoria. While Degrassi touched on a variety of rape scenarios, Euphoriainstead explores the gray areas of consent in the #MeToo era. In episode one, without her consent, Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney) is choked by her partner Chris McKay (Algee Smith) while they have sex; Chris is mimicking a sex tape he and the other guys saw of her — one that she doesn’t know exists. On Degrassi, it was scandalous when Manny’s topless photo was leaked to the whole school, but on Euphoria, the idea is taken to an extreme that aligns with the digital age: a critique on dick pics (solicited and unsolicited), revenge porn, and sex tapes of teen girls being filmed without their consent. On Euphoria, Kat (Barbie Ferreira) is filmed on tape having sex and it’s leaked to the entire school; earlier in the season, Jules (Hunter Schafer) is also filmed without her consent during a disturbing, sexually aggressive encounter with a Grindr guy named “Dominant Daddy,” who treats her like a sex doll and pushes her face into the bed. (Dominant Daddy ends up being Nate’s dad, played by Eric Dane.) Euphoria’s sex, sexual assault, and porn-related plotlines are jarring, but they’re aimed as pushing boundaries and sparking debate much in the same way that Degrassi did.
“It’s good for kids to make shows about teenagers in each era, in each time, to have kids see themselves depicted onscreen because it’s quite empowering in a way,” says Moore.
While catfishing — via email and online gaming — was a recurring story line on Degrassi, Euphoria brings the subject into the modern era, exploring the complexities of finding intimacy on dating apps and in the cam-girl world. That means a lot of dick pics and a lot of incessant texting, but the characters also find intimacy in different places — some more unconventional than others. Kat may feel invisible at school, but she tries to shed her insecurity by becoming a cam girl online, where she puts down guys who jerk off to her (and buy her things). It’s a wry role reversal: She’s a teen girl catfishing grown men. At the same time, Jules routinely meets and hooks up with men off Grindr like Dominant Daddy, but she also finds what she thinks is love with a guy she’s never met named Tyler. That turns out to be another case of catfishing, though, when she learns “Tyler” is actually Nate.
The boundary-pushing narratives in Euphoria go miles beyond Degrassi’s story lines, showing how far teen dramas have come in terms of addressing realistic and often uncomfortable social topics. Euphoria’s ability to be more explicit and tackle topics that are even more controversial than Degrassi’s speaks to how Degrassi created a framework for all of today’s provocative teen dramas. If Degrassi was still airing in 2019, it would almost certainly touch on difficult subjects like dating apps, intimate violence, and consent. Euphoria goes there — it’s just a little different now.

Sean Wasn't In Drake's 'Degrassi' Reunion Video, But The Actor's Explanation Was Very Sweet

If you would like to know why Sean isn't in Drake’s Degrassi reunion video, aka the "I'm Upset" music video, actor Daniel Clark is in the same boat. No, Clark doesn't know why he wasn't asked to be in his former co-star's new music video, and yeah, he is bummed he wasn't asked to be in his former co-star's music video. But as disappointed as he may be, Clark only has the nicest things to say about Aubrey Drake Graham and the vid. Unlike an episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation, there really isn't any drama here. Whatever it takes, you know a Degrassi Community School alum will make it through.

Before Drake became one of the biggest musicians on the planet, he played Jimmy Brooks on the long-running Canadian teen soap opera Degrassi: The Next Generation. On Wednesday, June 13, Drake released a music video for “I’m Upset” that pays homage to his time on the TV series. The premise: Drake/Jimmy/Aubrey goes to his high school reunion at Degrassi Community School, and almost everyone from his era of Degrassi: TNG shows up. Spinner (Shane Kippel), Paige (Lauren Collins), Marco (Adamo Ruggiero), Hazel (Andrea Lewis), Ashley (Melissa McIntyre), Archibald “Snake” Simpson (Stefan Brogen), Emma (Miriam McDonald) — name a character who appeared on Degrassi in the '00s, and they're probably in the video. Even Rick (Ephraim Ellis), the character who shot and paralyzed Jimmy, was brought back to life… only to be rightfully chased out of the event.
But Sean Cameron, a character who was on several seasons of TNG, is no where to be found. What gives? Alas, the actor who played Sean has no clue. Some hours after the video dropped, Clark told Page Six,
While Clark is not happy about being left out (understandable), he did go on Instagram Live on Thursday and say it made him “feel great” to see his co-stars together again on screen (also understandable). And again, while he wishes he was included, he told his Instagram Live on June 14 audience he's thankful that Drake made the whole thing happen. He said,
Some may say his response is about as edgy as a butterknife. And hey, that isn't a bad thing.

He continued,
Aww. Sean wasn’t the only Degrassi: TNG character to miss out on the epic reunion. As many fans noticed, J.T Yorke (Ryan Cooley) and Jay Hogart (Mike Lobel) were no where to be found in the "I'm Upset" clip. Shortly after the video hit the internet, Lobel tweeted, “I’m a little upset." Several hours later, Lobel added,
And when a fan mentioned J.T.’s absence to Drake on Instagram, the “Nice For What” rapper said Cooley “thought it was a scam.” (Bustle has reached out to Cooley for comment, but did not receive an immediate response.)
While Clark is not happy about being left out (understandable), he did go on Instagram Live on Thursday and say it made him “feel great” to see his co-stars together again on screen (also understandable). And again, while he wishes he was included, he told his Instagram Live on June 14 audience he's thankful that Drake made the whole thing happen. He said,
Clark added,
Well, jeez. That sure is a nice and mature and sincere response. No, you're crying Degrassi nostalgia-loaded tears.
Some may say his response is about as edgy as a butterknife. And hey, that isn't a bad thing.
they even got Ashley way in the back
Yup
I was happily surprised that many of them have aged VERY well.
