Are you sure about that?
Well, less so now after seeing that!
Wow I hadn't seen that since pre-YouTube.
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.
Sturgeon's Law
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:

Some people say they love disco. But I have to ask: what is love?

A lot of disco was great. Listen to some Chic!
Honestly don’t get the hate, there are some real bangers in my disco classics playlist
Please share with us 🙏
I was in MacArthur Park, talking to some Bad Girls, 'cause I'm a Wanderer, and I heard it On The Radio that disco was coming back. Once Upon A Time I heard that disco was Hot Stuff. I guess it has not had it's Last Dance.
Now I Feel Love, thank you.
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".
Everyone that's in the dark should look up Italo-Disco Playlist and thank me later.
Wait, that song is disco?!?!
Might be the disco version

The award only existed that year.
huh, TIL. thanks, that's interesting
haaardcooree! to the max!
things are gonna burn, baby, burn. disco inferno.
Shhhh... just a little secret between us ... but most of today's shit-ton of house music is VERY VERY, uh, discoish
🎶 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.
Seems a bit worse than the cosmic horrors I'm getting every night
