    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"

    Some people say they love disco. But I have to ask: what is love?

    I was in MacArthur Park, talking to some Bad Girls, 'cause I'm a Wanderer, and I heard it On The Radio that disco was coming back. Once Upon A Time I heard that disco was Hot Stuff. I guess it has not had it's Last Dance.

    Everyone that's in the dark should look up Italo-Disco Playlist and thank me later.

    Every time I hear this song I remember the forgotten gem that is The Replacements. Such a fun film.

    🎶 Didn't think I could live without you by my side 🎶

    Is that right? Did I get the lyrics right? Haven't heard that song in years and never consciously committed the song to memory.
