Now that everyone who was old enough to give a shit in 1981 is pushing 60, can we all agree that, like, disco was pretty good actually?

Some genuine bangers in there. Not at all deserving of the backlash it got.

    That's the thing, 45 years later you only ever hear the bangers, not the other 99.9%.

    Is there a term for that? It's not survivorship bias exactly, although I guess you could stretch the definition.

    Sturgeon's Law

    Derived from a sci-fi writer who was told sci-fi wasn't respected as "real literature" because "90% of sci-fi was shit", to which he supposedly responded:

    "Well, 90% of everything is shit"
