: Degrassi: The Next Generation is a new 15 x 30 minute sequel to the popular, Emmy Award-winning children's series Degrassi, which aired in the late 80s and early 90s, from the same producer of The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High. The new series introduces a new generation of children going through the trials and tribulations of adolescence in the year 2001. In a world influenced by the Internet, body piercing and hip-hop music, attention spans have decreased. This new generation encounters the same pressures and temptations their parent's generation did, and although these kids are more media savvy and more articulate, they're not necessarily more sophisticated.
