The Death Of Gay Disco
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Disco's resurgence in that late 1990s has fulfilled one of popular culture's perpetual prophecies: give a particular fad twenty five years to return and when it does, it will be hotter than the first time around. Portrayed as the heart and soul of the seventies, disco was more than just a dance phenomenon; rather it defined an
entire generation. However, a particular element of that generation that was responsible for giving birth to disco is nowhere to be found amidst this revival. Peter Braunstein, author of the article entitled "The Last Days of Gay Disco: The Current Disco Revival Conceals Its Homo Soul," contends that gays and lesbians founded what has come to be the legacy of the seventies. No additional sources cited.
