Degrassi has been running in Canada since 1979, and in that time it has had a lot of different opening themes. I mean a lot. Have you seen those compilations on YouTube? They run upwards of fifteen minutes! You can put that thing on loop for hours and have some solid jams.
With Degrassi: Next Class on the horizon, a friend of mine and I were comparing the new opening sequence to the older ones and it became a two hour conversation. What does each opening say about the series? What is it trying to convey? Is it effective? I know this is a lot of thought to put into a Canadian teen drama, but the thing has been on for over 35 years! This is a franchise on the level of Star Trek. Oh yeah, I went there. Why not pick it apart and really get into the nitty gritty?
Just so you all know, I’m not going to cover all the “special” openings for one off specials. I’m also not going to cover the Degrassi Talks opening, as much as it might be my new favorite thing ever. Seriously, Degrassi Talks is so legit and that opening is my new inspirational jam. Where’s my 2015 remix?
