“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.”
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.
didn't see ANY hippies or hip-wannabees. Disco gen rejected the hippie gen, which was lamented in liberal college papers at the time.
not martinis >> but screwdrivers, Sinapore Slings, pina coladas, gin&tonics, Sloe Gin Fizzes, & Daquiries.
yes the punk/crak bands killed disco WITH the help of Urban Cowboy . Jeans came back with a vengence and the forever disappearance of under $20 jeans became the norm.
