If disco is long since dead, why does almost every commercial shoved down my throat every 2 to 5 minutes feature DISCO?

[AI Opinion]

Disco “died” as a cultural movement, not as a sound. Advertisers love it because it’s instantly recognizable, upbeat, and makes people feel nostalgic or energized, which keeps you from skipping the ad. 🎶

That four-on-the-floor beat, funky bass, strings, handclaps – they test really well in marketing. It cuts across generations and screams “fun” and “celebration,” so brands keep recycling it. 💃🕺

Then, why is it that when I tell people the music they're listening to is disco, they say it's not?
It makes me skip the ad as fast as possible!!
It screams "brainless twits" to me!!

Disco evolved into Techno. Donna Summer's I Feel Love was actually Techno. It was made entirely on what they called a "disco machine" except her voice. These commercials are techno. One guy's opinion.

[FunkyMonkee]

Techno evolved from electronic which started in at least the `50's.
It's SORT OF disco but doesn't have the pea soup rhythm. Just a steady 4/4 bass drum. It's one of the very few "disco" records I like. More for the feel of the music rather than the beat.
This was the first "disco" record I ever heard back in `74 and it still doesn't have the pea soup beat, just 4/4.

Because boomers are sickos

[FunkyMonkee]

What do boomers have to do with it? It's being used TODAY! The music of the boomers was in the `60's, long before disco reared its ugly head!

Disco was in the 70s, and it's boomer music 😂 just blame them.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, it isn't! I'm a boomer and I hate it! Blame the generation after mine.
