lyrics
Wake up in the morning, Feeling shy and lonely, Gee, I gotta go to school. I don't think I can make it, Don't think I can take it, I wonder what I'm gonna do! But when I look around, I see, That someone's smiling, right at me. Wait! That someone’s talkin' to me. Hey, I got a new friend. Everybody can succeed, All you need is to believe, And be honest with yourself, Forget your fears and doubts. Come on give us a try, At Degrassi Junior High!
The original Degrassi kids are comrades. Their rising call for solidarity ( "everybody can succeed [at once]") echoes Debs' Statement to the Court Upon Being Convicted of Violating the Sedition Act: that none can succeed without the others; for one to fail is for all a failure

lyrics
Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through If I hold out, I know I can make it through Be the best (Be the best I can, and I say to you) Whatever it takes (I know I can make it) I know I can make it I know I can make it through---
The children of Degrassi The Next Generation are fully neoliberal subjects at the End of History. They cannot envision their own collective future, each desiring only that they alone "make it though" by "holding out" and being "the best", i.e. dominating the free market of childhood using "whatever it takes", i.e. through unequal exchange
Also how did they get away with that title 
Completely agree. No other show was quite like it as a kid - what other show would have had a teen buy a penis pump & get dumped by his gf or spent a season having one character spiral after her father calls her a slut and a gross dude spreads nudes of her around school (via email at that smh)
Canadian teen series that was popular in the 90s - early 2000s. Is still running I believe.
TNG is particularly famous (TNG being the iteration after Degrassi Junior High) because it was long running from ~2000-2008 and has a number of 'famous' (at least, to some degree) scenes/episodes.
Most notably - Drake (Aubrey Graham) was a cast-member for like two/three seasons and like 70% his character arc involves him participating in bullying a kid and then having his basketball dreams ruined when that kid he bullied does a school shooting & paralyzes him.
The children of Degrassi The Next Generation are actually the communists and the original cast are the neoliberal subjects.
Emma literally has a Che Guevara handbag
Show
Manny calls her 'Che' in one episode this is TNG ERASURE.
Yes I was traumatized as a child watching TNG at like 2am in the middle of summer & watching JT get stabbed what about it
