Captain's Log, Stardate: 92451.6
I held off writing this because I wanted to try and put together an in-depth post about real disco and why many people in the United States are obsessed with the cheesiness of Studio 54. However, I couldn't come up with a good hypothesis about this disturbing reality. I have just been asking a lot of questions to myself. Studio 54 was just a place to be "seen in." It had no actual value to the nightclub, say for the superficial glitz and glamor. Maybe that's what people remember about disco of the 70's and 80's. Just the superficial stuff that pushed the music into pop culture and made the culture of disco popular, only to implode on itself and become a mockery of what disco originally stood for.
Anyway, I could go on and on about this, but it would just be an incoherent rant and ramblings. Maybe this will all form together in the future and I'll be able to speak more clearly about why people prefer the fake versus the real.
