Eh, you will survive.

Are you sure about that?

grue@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 252d

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:

"Well, 90% of everything is shit"

perfect way to describe my life actually

It is survivor bias. The good disco is like the planes that got hit in the wings. It gives a skewed picture of the whole

Did the dj saved your life?

EfreetSK@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 252d

It wasn't necessary, he was staying alive

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

EddoWagt@feddit.nl · 10 pts · 251d (2 replies)

Baby don't hurt me

DylanMc6@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 251d (1 reply)

don't hurt me

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 250d

no more

Buddahriffic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 250d

Update: after much research, I still don't know what love is but it seems to be better when you have a shack for it, baby.

A lot of disco was great. Listen to some Chic!

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.

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...

MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org · 6 pts · 251d (2 replies)

Ok everyone im convinced. Give me your best disco Playlist or songs and I'll vibe to it this evening

Apeman42@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 251d

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.
