a little hard rock for my taste, but still catchy.
The rock score will be appealing to many, many people. I love it.
I really like this. Definitely piqued my interest!
Isn't "...a hit, gimme it" directly lifted from a terrible Britney Spears song?

lol Toxic remains one of the best pop songs of all time, and the lyric is slightly different ("I need a hit, baby, gimme it")
It's camp, if that's what you want. It's cringe, if we're judging it by genuine rock standards (how I weep for the poor drama boy playing this when the school bullies are around, thinking it won't sound like his other showtunes), but it's the musical equivalent of Joel Schumacher movie, which was pseudo-MTV, so probably right.
I appreciate the sound of this and would welcome a new rock musical. But isn’t this song super repetitive?

Well yeah, Lost Boys is camp.
