To be fair, Grease is a parody, and that was part of what they were parodying at the time. So they went a little extra with it too.

It's a parody of the super common "beach fling" style of movies from the 60's. They even reference some common actors and actresses from those movies.

It's why each scene seems so poorly tied together, and the characters aren't very consistent.

Never seen the movie, is it any good? Still worth watching in 25?

If you like musicals it's considered a pretty good one. It's really about the songs more than anything else.

I always consider grease to be like porn but for music.

The plot is just there to get the actors into the next song.

There are still people singing songs from it at karaoke every night.

It's aged well, but it was aged when it came out :)

I could think of worse things to do with 2 hours.
