    Young white cis men killed disco and did it large part because of racism and homophobia. That’s historically accurate. Disco becoming more commercial the more popular it was is the life cycle of all genres.

    Disco did not start off as a hypercapitalistic genre nor did it ever become one. That’s historically inaccurate. If it was such a cash machine it would’ve had a longer run.

      Disco was only accessible because of the mass commercial popularization in the suburbs through associated movies and dance crazes etc. Van McCoy's probably great, but like "The Hustle" is not really the best shit imo you know?
