History YMMV / RockAndRollHighSchool

* ValuesResonance: The film is well regarded by most feminists well into TheNewTens thanks to Kate and Riff being well-rounded and interesting protagonists who are neither TheChick nor adherents of the RealWomenDontWearDresses attitude, with them both owning their sexuality and the film positively focuses on their intellects instead of their sex appeal. Kate's knowledge of chemistry comes in handy at the end of the film and is even more resonant due to the encouragement of women and girls in STEM while Riff not only wants to sleep with Joey Ramone but wants to be a creative collaborator.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: In the sequel, Principal Vadar's regime is built on this and taking DisproportionateRetribution UpToEleven.

** Music/TheRamones' acting. It's {{Adorkable}} to say the least, especially Joey's "aw, shucks" face when Mr. McCree calls the Ramones "the Beethovens of our time."

* AwesomeMusic: Well, it does feature Music/TheRamones after all...

* MoralEventHorizon: By having her two henchmen eat Riff Randall's goldfish and THEN use force to steal Riff's (and her friend's) tickets, Mrs. Togar asked to be deposed as principal... especially after Riff's classmates and [=McGree=] found out the two nearly couldn't attend the concert because of her.

** The Ramones's acting. It's {{Adorkable}} to say the least.

** Vadar from the sequel crosses it in her very first scene and keeps right on going. [[CrossesTheLineTwice And it's supposed to be seen as silly, albeit for all the wrong reasons]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Principal Vadar's regime is built on this and taking DisproportionateRetribution UpToEleven.

* CompleteMonster: Principal Togar. This is the only reason why she hasn't been [[GoAmongMadPeople sent to the funny farm]] yet; she's so controlling the students only stand up to her when she presses their universal BerserkButton by trying to burn their records ''right in front of them''.
** Principal Vadar from the second film is even worse than Togar; and yet, her idea of punishing singing and dancing is silly [[CrossesTheLineTwice for all the wrong reasons]]. Even so, to call her a Hitler after everything she does before [[spoiler:being killed]] would be a grievous insult to Der Führer.

* CompleteMonster: Principal Togar. This is basically the only reason why she hasn't been [[GoAmongMadPeople sent to the funny farm]] yet; she's so damn controlling the students only stand up to her when she presses their universal BerserkButton by trying to burn their records ''right in front of them''.

* MoralEventHorizon: By having her two henchmen eat Riff Randall's goldfish and THEN use force to steal Riff's (and her friend's) tickets, Mrs. Togar pretty much asked to be deposed as principal... especially after Riff's classmates and [=McGree=] found out the two nearly couldn't attend the concert because of her.

* MoralEventHorizon: By having her two henchmen eat Riff Randall's goldfish and THEN use force to steal Riff's (and her friend's) tickets (even possibly allowing the two girls to be raped right in front of her ''just to teach Riff a lesson about non-conformity''; [[RapeDiscretionShot thankfully for the viewers, this is rated PG]]), Mrs. Togar pretty much asked to be deposed as principal... especially after Riff's classmates and [=McGree=] found out the two nearly couldn't attend the concert because of her.
