Baseball idiots

Who were those baseball idiots who killed off disco? Disco looked like a lot of fun. It should not have come to an abrupt end like that. Should it have lasted forever, No. But it could have stretched on a few more years. People were enjoying themselves. Getting dressed up in cheesy clothes and stepping it up all over fancy lit dance floors. Why a bunch of fatasses at some game somewhere care about other peoples having fun? What about all the people who lost their businesses and jobs when these places closed? You know what is as boring af? Baseball.

Disco died because the very same people who went to clubs, bought the music, and bought the high heeled shoes got sick of it and moved onto new wave music, gym exercise, or whatever other trend followed. Your logic is flawed.

Nah, people got shamed out enjoying it because of thuggery

Then disco deserved a quick death if it's fan base was so spineless and pathetic. New Wave and Punk was better anyway.

Spineless and pathetic folk deserve to have fun too. New Wave and Punk fans looked kind of anemic and weak.

Shut up, Meg.

ccr is correct. Disco didn't die because of the anti-disco night at a baseball stadium - the anti-disco night happened because disco was pretty much dead anyway.

It may have been a waning trend but those baseball buffoons and all the stupid repercussive humor that followed their stunt put an abrupt end to it.

If that's all it took I would have ended disco 5 years earlier...
