	Disco Social Psychology
		It seems that "disco mania" is not "an escape from reality" but a very real source of pleasure in the experiencing of life for those who select this particular mode of positive affective stimulation.
		Disco is the closest we've come to continuous partying (Spats discotheque is packed throughout the week).
		Nothing can be more humiliating for an enthusiastic amateur disco dancer than to receive the request from his partner and new acquaintance to leave the floor in the middle of a song due to her perceived social embarrassment, especially if she is immature, insecure or with girlfriends watching from the sidelines!

	Era
		Era is also popularly used to denote the passing of shorter periods, such as the Big Band era, Disco era.
		In a calendar, the era is the date from which years in the calendar are counted.

	LyricsVault: History of music; Disco
		Disco is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk and soul music, popular originally with gay and fl audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque (meaning nightclub), coined from disc + bibliotèque (library) by La Discothèque in Rue Huchette
		Social trends that contributed to disco music include the surpassing of white people by racial and ethnic minorities, fl and hispanic people, in the purchasing of records and sound equipment, the increased independence of women in finance and leisure, gay liberation, and the sexual revolution.
		Most disco songs have a steady four-on-the-floor beat (sometimes using a 16-beat pattern on the hi-hat cymbal, or an eight-beat pattern with an open hi-hat on the "off" beat) and a heavy, syncopated bassline.

	A history of disco music
		Disco is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk and soul music, popular originally with gay and fl audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque (meaning nightclub), coined from disc + bibliotèque (library) by La Discothèque in Rue Huchette.
		This music was coined disco, of which there are two flavors and time periods: disco 1.0, which is firmly connected to soul and funk in the first half of the seventies and disco 2.0 in the second half of the seventies, as the incarnation of gay hedonistic club culture.
		Disco had already been going for ten years when the first electronic drum tracks began to appear out of Chicago, and in that time it had already suffered the slings and arrows of merciless commercial exploitation, dilution and racial and sexual prejudice which culminated in the 'disco sucks' campaign.

	Tim Lawrence Articles
		In the popular imagination, disco conjures up images of Studio 54, the celebrated New York 1970s nightclub, where hoards of would-be dancers queued up on a nightly basis, waving their arms frantically in an attempt to catch the eye of the venue's doorman, as if they were at an auction, bidding for their own lives.
		And disco arouses "ear worms" that emit the shrill white pop of the Bee Gees, who stripped the genre of its fl groove en route to becoming its best-selling band.
		Dance culture survived the "disco sucks" backlash, but disco, which had become an undeserving symbol for the moral and economic sickness of the recession-blighted United States, was beyond convalescence.

	WATERMARK ON THE WEB: AMERICAN TOP 40 - Top 40 Hits of the Disco Era
		As with the famous phrase "The Rock Era," the so-called "Disco Era" is difficult to define as having a beginning and an end.
		By accepting the most artificial of reasons, the era could have said to begin in 1974, the year "Rock the Boat" hit #1 on the Hot 100 and the year Billboard began its Disco chart.
		Disco began "exploding" like never before on the Hot 100/American Top 40 in early 1978 with the release of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, which spawned no less than 7 top 40 hits from November 1977 to April 1978.

	DISCO: a decade of saturday nights 06/23/04
		It's a little hard to believe the peak of the disco era was 25 years ago, far enough back to put disco and all that came with it in historical terms.
		There are display cases showing Disco Barbie, disco lunch boxes, even a short-lived Marvel Comics heroine whose super power had something to do with her ability to roller disco.
		Those old enough to remember the era will especially get a kick out of watching footage from the infamous "Disco Demolition Night," when an on-field promotional stunt between games of a doubleheader between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox erupted into a near riot, causing the second game to be canceled.

As EMP tells it, the disco story is so much more than hit songs and outlandish costumes.
		At the center of a serpentine exhibit that begins with the roots of disco and concludes with its demise is a replica of the Crisco Disco New York nightclub of the 1970s, complete with pulsating lights, throbbing music and a vintage DJ booth.
		On display are disco lunch boxes and jeans, a kiosk featuring some of the worst disco novelty songs and news photos of the "Disco Demolition," a Chicago record-burning party that caused a riot in 1979 at Chicago's Comiskey Park.

	Press Information \| Disco: A Decade of Saturday Nights
		Disco: A Decade of Saturday Nights is the first major exhibition to explore the historical context and continuing influence of the rich, complex world of disco as it has affected the musical, social, cultural (and polyester) fabric of America and the world.
		Disco started in the lofts of the lively but disenfranchised in New York City -- those who played and danced to what was, quite literally, a different drumbeat.
		And there is ample evidence of the selling of disco, from a Sears Disco Pooh record player to Wolfman Jack's Disco Party flying disc; as well as artifacts of the "disco sucks" reaction to disco's pervasiveness, which culminated in the burning of 10,000 disco records and an attendant riot at Chicago's Comiskey Park in 1979.

	70s Disco Fashion, Mini Dress, Maxi, Platform Soled Shoes
		Disco dance clubs created a venue for a new kind of clothing called disco wear which was based on stretch clothes and light reflecting fabrics that shone under disco lighting.
		Shiny clinging Lycra stretch disco pants in hot strident shiny colours with stretch sequin bandeau tops were often adaptations of professional modern dance wear that found itself making an impact in discos as disco dancing became serious.
		Disco wear was never acceptable for day wear, but for night it was the only possible wear to enable the participants to be part of the action, to be part of the atmosphere of strobe lighting, mirror balls and spotlighting of individuals at any time.

		Disco lost momentum as the '70s became the '80s, but it didn't die -- it mutated into a variety of different dance-based genres, ranging from dance-pop and hip-hop to house and techno.
		Donna Summer's title as the "Queen of Disco" wasn't mere hype -- she was one of the very few disco performers to enjoy a measure of career longevity, and her consistent chart success was rivaled in the disco world only by the Bee Gees.
		Sensing that the disco era was coming to a close, Summer attempted to modify her style to include more R&B and pop/rock on her first Geffen album, 1980's The Wanderer; the album and its title track were both hits.

		Disco, in short, brazenly confirmed all the old fears that under the right conditions the passions aroused in clubs might overflow their bounds and foster a broader ferment.
		The fact that the most legendary gay disco of the early seventies was located in a former church, its deejay booth at the altar, serves as a perfect metaphor for the quasi-religious fervor of gay disco culture.
		Rock fans framed their struggle against disco as a Manichaean conflict of ideological opposites, in which disco represented all that was synthetic, aristocratic, and fake, while populist rock stood for all that was earthy and real.

		Miller says that disco gave way to techno and hip-hop and that its influence is evident in the backbeats of both musical styles.

		But it was perceived as disco fun for the whole family even in the Midwest, and Pittsburgh's sister city in Ohio, Cincinnati, rolled out a fabulously upgraded rink called the Colerain Skate Land just for roller disco.
		Disco music was, and still is under the label of EDM, evolving and the tastes of that young, new generation of dancers in the seventies could have evolved with the genre.
		The association of the disco culture with recreational drug use was underlined in bright red headlines for Middle America when Rubell and his Studio 54 were busted by the IRS and other agencies on a number of charges including income tax evasion and sales of illicit drugs.
