Don't forget the drug culture that went with it. Even the movie “Forrest Gump” used it to illustrate the 70s disco scene in the montage showing Jenny's life before she came back to Forrest.

A smart host would have asked how well disco is doing these days. BTW, who watches MSNBC?

Oh, sure, no one did drugs in the 80s.

Very true, although I lumped the drug issue under “cost”, because rock of course had its own drug culture. Difference being, drugs with young rock fans mainly meant passing around some weed. Drugs in disco meant pills or cocaine, quite a bit more expensive.

Still drug fueled and marketed to gay men. Techno/Disco, what's the difference except where they are taking X or coke?
