* {{Camp}}: Nathan in particular can be this at times.
* FollowTheLeader: The group seems to have been formed in response to the major success of Music/TheWiggles.



* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Latin America loves Hi-5. The American series, and later the Australian series (both of which were dubbed in Spanish) were such a major success there that certain merchandise, such as dolls, were only available there and in 2010 a localised production of the Hi-5 Surprise! show started touring, with local actors impersonating the Australian cast. Reruns still air frequently on [[Creator/DiscoveryFamily Discovery Kids]] and it was one of the few countries to get their own local version of the show, known as Hi-5 Fiesta.

* PeripheryDemographic: Like their competitor Music/TheWiggles, the band has some following from older audiences ranging from parents who come to their concert for a workout to teenagers (especially in Southeast Asia, mentioned above in GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff.).
** This was even lampshaded in the audio commentary from the show's creator, Helena Harris.

* SignatureSong: "L.O.V.E" was the most popular song, to the point where it got over 1 million on Spotify and it became common in live shows. It even received two remakes - one for Series 5 and again for Series 13.

** In Hi-5's early days, they managed to be very successful in the UK as their tour sold out within days of it being announced and the TV series was one of Milkshake! (Channel 5's kids block)'s most popular shows. Milkshake! also aired an exclusive special where the original gang travelled around London with the block's presenter Naomi Wilkinson on an open-top bus. Naomi also interviewed Nathan on the show and met the cast in Sydney, and this was before the UK series premiered. Nowadays the series is mostly unheard of in the UK, aside from nostalgic teenagers and adults who remember the original cast.

(Channel 5's kids block)'s most popular shows. Milkshake! also aired an exclusive special where the original gang travelled around London with the block's presenter Naomi Wilkinson on an open-top bus. Naomi also interviewed Nathan on the show and met the cast in Sydney, and several Milkshake! broadcasts featured Hi-5 members appearing as special guests. All of this was happened before Cartoonito purchased the UK broadcast rights to the series premiered.and commissioned a UK version in 2008. Nowadays the series is mostly unheard of in the UK, aside from nostalgic teenagers and adults who remember the original cast.

--> "The other interesting thing about Hi-5 is that we try on every single segment to ensure that we appeal to a wide age group, from as young as 2 through to 8-year-olds… even though we heard there are quite a few teens out there that enjoy Hi-5.”

** Unsurprisingly, seeing as it was Hi-5's first ever song and another fan favourite, "Ready or Not" can also be applied here.
** "Five Senses" as well, especially for the US group.
