Honest question, but why? Curious because I loathe them so I'd love to hear the appeal from someone who enjoys them!

For me personally, it’s sorta like wish fulfillment. I didn’t have the best high school experience, but reading about my favorite characters having their slice of life moments and romantic confessions in an idealized high school setting makes me happy.

DA - I get this impulse but for me it takes root much more with college AUs not high school ones

For me, part of it is the freedom of responsibility. In college, people are already young adults and when the characters engage in too much shenanigans it takes me out of the story. But at high school age, the characters can get caught up in all matters of drama or nonsense and it's fine, since they're teenagers anyway.

Also, for me personally, I'm not from the US. The college experience is somewhat similar to what I experienced in my own life, but high school in the US is pretty different from how it works here. So HS AUs are also just interesting to me for cultural reasons.

Hm. I think I look it at the same way but with a different interpretation - for me the it feels like high school is sort of pointless and meaningless and a waste of time. You have to spend all of your time caring about stuff that doesn't matter at all, and you and everyone around you are high school-aged teenagers, which means you're just by definition extremely dumb a very large percentage of the time. The fact that you have more ability to sort out your own life in college makes it much more interesting to me.
