I love disco so much 💿✨
I grew up watching old movies with my parents, and those 70s dance scenes totally hooked me. Now when a Donna Summer or Bee Gees track comes on, I’m instantly in a good mood. I’m not a pro dancer, but under a disco ball with friends, I’ll dance all night too 💃🎶

Back almost 50 years ago, the disco mentality was, to me, idiocy. Then again, I was a teen and this was back during the peak of rock 'n' roll in the 1970s. Watch "That '70s Show" or "Dazed and Confused" to understand the prevailing culture in the US at the time.

For example, this is the opening from the 1993 movie "Dazed and Confused" about the last day of school in a town in Texas in May 1976.

Disco, which was really just in the cities - especially in the Northeast - was considerably different. The attire and attitude of the lifestyle just seemed like a bunch of fake horseshit. However, really, the music wasn't bad. It was just the next step after Motown and funk, so disco was actually already in place before disco became DISCO.

Watch this opening scene and dance scene from 1977's "Saturday Night Fever":

That dancing would be considered ridiculous by most kids (like those in "Dazed and Confused") and people in America at the time although much disco-like music was common in the Top 40 by 1978.

To give you even more ridiculousness, when you think of 1977, what's the biggest movie of that year? Star Wars. I give you this disco song which was #1 in the Top 40 in Fall 1977.

So, the lifestyle seemed like it was full of shit. Yet, looking back now that I am adult with real responsibilities, I can understand it better. I remember how bad inflation, the economy, and the general post-Vietnam malaise was back then and now recognise that, given the general dismal feel in America at the time, disco dancing and dressing like that and living that culture was a way to just have a good time - and maybe get laid - and not think about it all. The rock 'n' roll kids had weed and rock; the disco kids had the disco lifestyle and disco music.

Again, the lifestyle wasn't for me at all and I was definitely more of a rock 'n' roll kid, but I did appreciate disco music even some of the most shallow of it. Perhaps that's because I started listening to Top 40 AM radio in 1972 so I gradually was exposed to it as Motown and funk began to make the transition - especially with this 1975 song, "The Hustle", a big hit although it was never #1.

"The Hustle" would begin to make disco become prominent and "Saturday Night Fever" would make it prominent for the next few years.
