Welcome to
degrassicosm, a place where we believe Degrassi is but a microcosm of the world, from which we can learn all of life's lessons.
How is this different from other Degrassi communities, you ask? We'd like to think it's a matter of perspective. We have a complicated relationship to the show, somewhere between blind adulation and seething contempt. Episode recaps, polls, random rants--you'll find it all here. Discussion of both old-school Degrassi and The Next Generation (especially as it pertains to old-school) is welcome--just keep the snark coming.
