Disco reintroduced dancing & clubbing to the dating scene. It also rejected the scuzzy & dirty, and too much hair dress look of the previous generation to a more dressy look.

It also popularized polyester as a valid clothing material, and also reintroduce the mixed drink instead of previous generation's wine and beer preference.

It restyled dirty-uncombed-hair to something more acceptable. In tern- this led to the zenith of hair styles we saw in the 80s!!

Yes, that’s eminently believable as it was, like I said, chick music. We tend to look back at the entire era as one giant fashion travesty, but just think how sick and tired women must have been of hippies. If it took earth tones, pea green, platform shoes, liesure suits, and so forth to get away from body hair and dirt, so be it.

“also reintroduce the mixed drink instead of previous generation’s wine and beer preference”

I never thought of it, but I suppose you didn’t see many hippies with martinis and old-fashioneds.

You are like a prophet. Saying things that are never said even in private discussions.

Heavens that people should have to look good and make an effort at real dancing (not that they HAD to). Polyester may’ve been a generally poor choice, but the principle of looking nice, not like a damned loser commie hippie, would’ve come through no matter what the material.

Amen! People looked good. Then we went ‘80s and it was TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
