This Thursday (June 13), the Chicago White Sox are giving away 10,000 t-shirts to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Disco Demolition Night, Chicago journalist Robert Feder notes. Written on the t-shirt is: “The Night That Records Were Broken.” The shirt is available as part of the team’s Free T-Shirt Thursdays promotion. According to Feder, Steve Dahl, the radio jockey who stirred up anti-disco sentiment by destroying records, will throw out the game’s honorary first pitch.

Ah yes, Disco Demolition night.
Bad Coho Lips. Very bad.
L
What’s a chimpout?
I would think the added adjective would tell you all you need to know...
I had a ‘Disco Sucks’ bumper sticker on my car back then.
Only bumper sticker I’ve ever had on a vehicle............
People acting like chimpanzees in a jungle..............
Insane Coho Lips!
Find some videos of the 2015 Freddie Gray Death riots in Baltimore. Or the riots in Ferguson. Or any Friday or Saturday night mall disturbances on YouTube.
From the article:
“NPR has written that Disco Demolition Night has come “to be seen as a not-so-subtle attack against disco’s early adopters: blacks, Latinos and gay people.”
Unbelievable.
Despite the replies stating otherwise, it is a derogatory term used to call any public display of a lack of self-control by anyone that is black. Fight, argument, whatever.
Obviously the term “chimp” is used in place of the more well known “monkey”.
Yeah, It’s a dumb term.
Disco sucked.
>What’s a chimpout?
Like what happened in Memphis
Bad, wild, uncontrollable, destructive, riotous, dangerous behavior by a large group of people.
See democratic national convention Chicago 1968, disco demolition Chicago 1979, English football hooliganism etc.
“WZAZ in Chicago, where disco lives forever...” *CRASH*
Disco sucked then, and it sucks now.
Like the Bee Gees, Saturday Night Fever, Travolta, Newton John, etc.
IMO DDN marked the beginning of the real-life last days of disco.
ff
Don Corleone was there in disguise!!!!
True, but it sounds pretty good in contrast with cRap and hiphop.
