Tell me about the Disco Era

If you can remember it, you weren't there...or that's what my uncles told me.

Streaking was popular.

Revel in the glory of it all!

Only thing worse than the music were the clothes.
Edit, the cars sucked as well.

we're actually still in the disco era

they've just been relabeled as "clubs"

the culture sucked and continues to suck, but there were some decent songs

It was so cool but goofy, dancing as a masculine trait is kinda tricky.

I was a little young but I’ve been obsessed with the blonde chick from ABBA for as long as I remember. Their story is pretty interesting. Won Eurovision for Sweden in 1974 with English as their second language and was arguably the biggest band in the world that decade yet their only No 1 in America was an unintended disco song - Dancing Queen.

Our President loves a song performed by a "boy" band made up of men dressed as gay stereotypes

What a time to be alive

We were emulating John Travolta... we thought he was one thing, turned out to be another.

I was in elementary school and remember learning the Hustle in music class in 5th or 6th grade. It was super dead by the time I came of age.

I do remember liking ABBA both their pop and to a degree, their disco crossover stuff. I was much more of a Zeppelin/Stones/The Who/ACDC kid but needed something to talk to the girls about.

Who all played their own instruments.
Many of the disco groups were only vocalists who had back up session artists backing them up.
