This World Has Gone To Hell...

Outsider,

I assume you were as old as I was during this time... or we were similar in age. Going to a disco... and disco music was a fad... It was a way of life for a % of people...

Now, if you were watching American Bandstand... During that year... most of the music played was Disco... the entire show was centered around it. When you watched TV, some of the shows had disco music playing in it... on the cop shows, comedy shows, etc. etc. Now, white america is pretty much tired of getting disco forced down their throat. Everywhere they go... disco disco disco disco. Somethings got to give, don'tcha think? Plus to a rock 'n roller (excluding you) :lol: :lol: ... you are pretty much sick of this fucking music and you want it to stop...

Now if radio has stopped adding those songs to their playlists & club owners are seeing a drop off of their patrons and they make a decision to shut the club down. It means the fad is dying.

I was way too young to go to discos during that time (I'm only 35 now). But I remember how popular disco was. It was quite the sensation.

Logic would have it that if people didn't like disco, they had the choice not to bother with it. But with disco being so omnipresent at the time, a backlash was probably inevitable. And like with all fads, this one was bound to end at some point. But disco did leave its mark on music, which can be found to this day.

Quite true.
