things are gonna burn, baby, burn. disco inferno.
🎶 Didn’t think I could live without you by my side 🎶
Is that right? Did I get the lyrics right? Haven’t heard that song in years and never consciously committed the song to memory.
Glorias still kicking, Aretha unfortunately not, but I guess we could also ask Keanu if he still remembers.
Shhhh… just a little secret between us … but most of today’s shit-ton of house music is VERY VERY, uh, discoish
Some people say they love disco. But I have to ask: what is love?
Baby don’t hurt me
don’t hurt me
Now that everyone who was old enough to give a shit in 1981 is pushing 60, can we all agree that, like, disco was pretty good actually?
Some genuine bangers in there. Not at all deserving of the backlash it got.
That’s the thing, 45 years later you only ever hear the bangers, not the other 99.9%.
Is there a term for that? It’s not survivorship bias exactly, although I guess you could stretch the definition.

Derived from a sci-fi writer who was told sci-fi wasn’t respected as “real literature” because “90% of sci-fi was shit”, to which he supposedly responded:

Eh, you will survive.
Are you sure about that?
Well, less so now after seeing that!
Wow I hadn’t seen that since pre-YouTube.
Ok everyone im convinced. Give me your best disco Playlist or songs and I’ll vibe to it this evening
I’ve never been sure what the exact distinction is between disco and funk, nor which side it falls on, but I love Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven”.
Honestly don’t get the hate, there are some real bangers in my disco classics playlist
Please share with us 🙏
Did the dj saved your life?
It wasn’t necessary, he was staying alive
haaardcooree! to the max!
A lot of disco was great. Listen to some Chic!
Wait, that song is disco?!?!
Might be the disco version

1980 - I will survive.
The award only existed that year.
huh, TIL. thanks, that’s interesting
Everyone that’s in the dark should look up Italo-Disco Playlist and thank me later.
Every time I hear this song I remember the forgotten gem that is The Replacements. Such a fun film.
nudisco was a thing for a little while and it’s not so bad.
Never heard of it, which must be part of why my brain inserted an L so I read “nuldisco” at first. Was curious what that’d sound like…
