AMERICAN EXPERIENCE - The War on Disco
Monday, 10/30 from 9-10 pm NHPBS
The War on Disco explores the culture war that erupted over the spectacular rise of disco music. Originating in underground Black and gay clubs, disco had unseated rock as America’s most popular music by the late 1970s. But many diehard rock fans viewed disco, with its repetitive beat and culture that emphasized pleasure, as shallow and superficial. AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Streaming Video
