Disagree.
Not everyone was at Studio54. There were disco clubs everywhere, 3000 mi away. Most of them were not quite like the epitome. Not much different from any average “club” today.
As if all the other “rock” music wasn’t filled with “excess”, especially in drugs and alcohol.
I also have no idea how anyone can make anything but a superficial comparison between hip-hop/rap and disco. Night and day.
There were coke spooned “Disco Stu-s” in every city even if they weren’t NYC or velvet roping Jager, Bowie, Warhol, and designers.
It was the “ME generation” engaging in self-indulgence.
“I also have no idea how anyone can make anything but a superficial comparison between hip-hop/rap and disco. Night and day.”
You ignore the fact that quite a lot of hip-hop is people talking/singing over old disco recordings.
