Just like every other fad, it stays for a while, then disappears.
70's disco
80's hair bands
90's macarena
00's cookie-monster vocals

Disco came at the right time, the right place...entirely different than anything before it, brought in the concept of DJ (before that, we had juke boxes)...Was extremely popular until the music killed itself...seems as soon as a movie is made about any form of dance, the dance peaks quickly then dies. John Travolta made disco the rage, but so much of the music became derivative that it died. Today, discos have been replace by "club scenes" ... same type music, only worse today...no variation in rhythm. But while it lasted, it was truly the age of sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

I never had the chance to experience the Disco craze, seems fun. But I think people were bored with it, just like a fad or something.

I have not idea , I love the music though I was a Baby. It was not my era, but I heard my parents play it. back then they had so much fun and clean fun,everyone was more free now, the music is different the people are different and they have diseases and more worst drugs out there.
times just soured, no one enjoy them selves they way they use too, I know I sound like I was there, I learned it from talking to people from that area and look at soul train, american band stand and watch solid gold in the 80's I was a little bit but I never forget because I love entertainment. My mom told me ya'll live and partied.
I have never experience those kind of parties. what a bummer!!!

Most anything popular has a backlash at some point. People get tired of hearing the same thing over and over and want something different.
It's fun too when it makes a comeback because people can enjoy it for what it is, not just because it was a fad.

It was before my time, but my parents and their friends say disco died because it was hijacked by the gay subculture, and pretty soon people thought that if you danced disco you must be gay.
It's still alive and well in gay nightclubs and stuff according to a couple of gay friends at school.

I am sure it died because always something new happens, but today a lot of the songs are still very much alive....."I Will Survive" for example. Great era for dancers......lots of fun. It was not all drugs, belive me, I had lots of fun then. Everyone danced, the music was so alive, the lights in the clubs....
