2. Gabriella and Troy would have met on the music.ly app, not at karaoke. Because what even is singing without it being sped up a little with a forced dance routine?

5. Ryan would replace his extensive hat collection with the latest beauty trends. Wavy eyebrows. Magnetic eyelashes. Bubble face masks.

6. Sharpay would be the queen of the subtweet, and nail a passive aggressive social media like like nobody else.

7. Gabriella wouldn't have worn this dress. Sorry but she wouldn't.

8. The students wouldn't be eating off red dinner trays or in the school canteen, but waiting for UberEats and Deliveroo out front instead.

9. Troy wouldn't feel like he had to choose between musical theatre and basketball, because HELLO 2018.

10. They'd all be trying to launch their singing careers on YouTube and doing duet covers of Justin Bieber.

11. Gabriella wouldn't have refused to audition for the callbacks with Troy, but would instead have unfollowed him on Instagram and Twitter to make her point.

12. The students wouldn't spend the summer working at Lava Springs, but rather at super edgy coffee bars or spas on the Treatwell app.

13. Gabriella wouldn't teach Troy to waltz during 'Can I Have This Dance?', but rather how to do the floss dance. And let's be honest, we all want to know how to floss, don't we?

14. Chad's promposal to Taylor would be a lot more extravagant and over the top. Where's the flash mob? The secret video? THE DOUGHNUTS SPELLING IT OUT?

15. It would still be our guilty pleasure and Troy Bolton will be in our hearts forever and ever, amen.
