"Disco will never be over. It will always live in our minds
and hearts. Something like this, that was this big, and this important and
this great, will never die. Oh, for a few years – maybe many years – it'll be
considered passé and ridiculous. It will be misrepresented and caricatured and
sneered at, or worse, completely ignored. People will laugh about John
Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, white polyester suits and platform shoes and
people going like this… But we had
nothing to do with those things and still loved disco. Those who didn't
understand will never understand: disco was much more and much better than
all that. Disco was too great and too much fun to be gone for ever. It's got
to come back someday. I just hope it will be in our own lifetimes"
Since it’s already well said, I won’t attempt to embellish.
from the film "The last days of disco" (1998) by Whit Stillman (can't say I loved the movie, but I surely enjoyed the ost)
