"Aunt Dee Dee, what's disco?""Just something that happened a long time ago, sweetie, and it's never ever coming back. So don't you worry."
>>223477167why did boomer TV writers love shitting on disco?
>>223477491for me it's every show matt groening has done bizarrely shitting on nixon, he was on futurama and hadn't been president for two and a half decades by that point, what the fuck could he have done to make that epstein island flyer so pissed off?
>>223477520Nixon was Trump before Trump was a thing. Hating him was fashionable.
>>223477491By the time disco was popular, boomers had aged out of being the cool young demo, they were middle aged now, married and having families, so they started shitting on the fun scene people younger than them were enjoying
>>223477520>TV news man told me other man bad>Therefore, it's a fact>If it wasn't a fact TV news man wouldn't have said it
>>223477527boomers were in their 20s back then though? what do you think a boomer is, exactly?
>>223477564>born in 1948>20 in 1978
>>223477592american moment
>>223477564it's just shorthand for "old person", it doesn't mean anything in particular
>>223477491TV writers are nerd dorks who didn't get laid or invited to parties back then.
>>223477655/thread
>>223477491Disco has a homosexual connotation.
>>223477526And Reagan, whole 80s was just Reagan hating
>>223477655all the party dudes who went to disco clubs back then became CEOs
>>223477627Ok retard>>223477791Swinger connotations
>>223477491because it was shit
>>223477491Early Gen x and late boomers, who have little in common with early boomers, absolutely hated it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night
>>223477520>bizarrely shitting on nixon>bizarrelyAnon, fucking really?
it got way too overexposed and annoying in 78-79
>>223477167>and it's never ever coming back. So don't you worryHuh
>>223477491it was gay
>>223477167Is Rap the disco of the 90/00's?
>>223480303I bet you couldn't tell me a single thing about Nixon (aside form vague inaccurate Watergate details) without googling him.
>>223477167>Dude Disco>Dude Lava Lamps>Dude Nixon>Dude WaterbedsJesus Christ why were the people in the 90s so busy shitting on shit from 2 decades earlier? Trump and NFT jokes are already played out now, imagine if we're still hearing them in 2040.
>>223480303https://youtu.be/IMUGPfOZnvI
>>223480447Lava lamps and waterbeds was peak 90's thoughever
>>223480458lolololol oh /poltv/ you're so silly
>>223480447that was just how people used be in the 20th century. they were very forward-thinking and last decade's fads were something to be laughed at, like "lol why did we ever think that bullshit was a good idea?"
>>223480447>Trump and NFT jokes are already played out now, imagine if we're still hearing them in 2040.I have a feeling they will until we're both in the grave, anon.
>>223477167>he doesn't know about the sublime grooves of Nu Disco and Slomo.
>>223480447Trump is going to have dominated the news cycle from 2016-2029. That’s 12 years of nonstop headlines and discussion. I don’t think we’re ever going to stop hearing about him. People still talk about Hitler every day and he’s been dead for over 80 years.
>>223481004Nixon didn't even order WatergateHow are you gonna impeach a guy for doing stuff he didn't order or endorse?
>>223480441you mean the guy that kicked off shipping jobs to china for the equivalent of slave labor?There's alot to hate about the schizophrenia Richard Nixon
>>223480441he founded the EPA and sold America's industry to China
>>223481380I'm listening to Italo Disco right now.
>>223481486>>223481491You mean the Sino-Soviet split and causing America to win the cold war?
>>223480458>seriously quoting fucking Joe Rogan as a source on anything>Joe cites Tucker Carlson as a sourcebeyond self parody
>>223481486>the guy that kicked off shipping jobs to china>>223481491>sold America's industry to ChinaThat didn't begin until the 80s and only went into overdrive in the latter half of the 90s
>>223477491Because it was a massive cultural fad, and then quickly went out of style fast. And it wasn't so much the music, as the faggy styles and attitudes that surrounded it that became a joke, and people who were hoping it was going to "come back" oblivious to the reality when night and dance clubs were still a thing and as popular as they ever were.
>>223481526>only went into overdrive in the latter half of the 90sThey joined the WTO in the mid 90's. t. Expat in SEA during the 90's
>>223481519
>>223477520he's easy to do an impression of
>>223481526nixon opening trade with china allowed them to industrialize meaning when Regan, Bush sr and Clinton started wildling away trade regulation it was the first domino in carving out amercian manufacturing. By the mid 70s Americans were already beginning to have avalible to them cheap Chinese made electronics like watches, calculators, radios, alarm clocks and 8 track players. You simply dont know what youre talking about
>>223481763sorry mid 80s not mid 70s
>>223481763>>223481789I said it began in the 80s
>>223477167Even as a kid I was aware enough to get the joke of "thing people liked and obsessed about and are now embarrassed of"
>>223481815and industrialization doesnt happen overnight it was nixon that opened the flood gates
>>223481849Ok so it wasn't Nixon's fault
>>223481993it was they industrialized with our help
>>223482067Yeah, the fear was a strong Sino-USSR alliance would be able to overwhelm the West, so creating the schism was seen as prudent and necessaryWe have the benefit of hindsight now
>>223482113>We have the benefit of hindsight nowcorrect, but i was directly replying to someone implying there is no reason to dislike nixon
>>223482150There isn't
>>223480249And I quote from your link>artists have debated whether the event was expressive of racism and homophobia. Disco Demolition Night remains well known as one of the most extreme promotions in MLB history.>durrr why dont some midwestern city full of rock fan be liking my niggerfaggot disco
>>223477491You mean Gen X. The people who wrote Rugrats were in their 20s and 30s. This would be like if Gen Alpha wrote shows that shit on the 2010s rap fad. Nobody liked it except zoomers
>zoomers pretending everything boomers or gen x make fun of is goodJesus, it's disco and it sucks let it go.
>>223477491Disco was great for fun, beautiful, active people. Disco was a nightmare for unfun, ugly, inactive people.
>>223477167Discock gonna go in your ass!
saturday night fever was kino
>>223482439It was the coke, not the music. The music, like EDM, is artless repetitive trash.
>>223477520Nixon was based and hated Jews. That’s a capital sin.
>>223482402>>223482450Nah disco's good
>>223482243That's just revisionism,. the biggest targets of anti-Disco hate were oppressed POC like... ABBA and the Bee-Gees.
>>223483372that's sort of true though since they were the normie bands that the subculture fags hated
>>223482450>artless trashthere's artless trash in all mediums of art and al genres of music. i must admit it's decidedly easier to produce shitty EDM but there is still excellent, transcendent music out there.
>>223477491Because it's like two beats with some funk licks. Funk was much better.
>>223477491Disco Balls
>>223477491Because it's shit, just like bell bottoms that for some reason retards began using again, every time people use bell bottoms things go to shit.70s: stagflation2000s: the house market bubble2020s: AI bubbleBell bottoms are cursed, 70s fashion in general is shit
>>22348044790s saw the 50s and 60s as the "good ol' days" that were both admired and mocked. It's part of the sliding timeline.
