I want disco culture back

[@growingstruggle5493]

We all do

[@0mnicide]

Even in the 90s growing up my mom and our street would throw block parties in the summer. My dad would basically DJ the entire thing, he has a massive CD collection and with his home stereo system he’d bring out the speakers. Whenever he put on any disco songs mostly the women (including my mom) would start dancing in the street. It was the 90s so probably more of The Macarena, Rhythm is a Dancer, Another Night and What is Love type music but the sense of community was stronger. I still live on the same street and we all just sit inside now. Haven’t had a block party in at least 20 years. Wish I knew how to convert VHS to share it online. Authentic 90s block parties. Good times.

[@growingstruggle5493]

@@0mnicide you could ask on Reddit on the VHS thread.

[@0mnicide]

@@growingstruggle5493 I already found a KZbin tutorial on how to do it BUT we have those mini vhs tapes that you could insert and remove from an actual VHS so it might be a little more complicated. Definitely something I’m gonna look further into.

[@Creptex]

@@0mnicide they sell adapters that convert the smaller vhs tapes to the normal sized ones. I used it to convert a few family videos from 15-20ish years ago.

@Mister Supersonic when seeing old scenes on TV now it does seem strange that I lived through those times, even attending events similar to this. Disco was big. Many of us white folk were even walking round with Afro permed hair and carrying Afro combs (rakes) in our back pockets like people do with their smart phones today. It was all fun, and everybody was appreciating it. There were some grim moments without CCTV keeping things under control like today. I witnessed a few nasty scenes that would be less likely to occur now, but I remember regularly feeling like much of the crowd in this video. I even went out and bought this track when it was in the charts and played it to death

[@MargauxNeedler]

​@@ceased2carea few nasty scenes? Like wdym?

Classic tv programmes. Remember watching these back on Thames Tv back in late 78 to 1980.

[@itsjemmabond]

The guy representing New Zealand later revealed in an interview the floor was slippery and several dancers injured themselves during rehearsals, which explains why he only used his arms. He also stated the music was too fast for him, but now wishes this video had never found its way on KZbin!

[@discoreview]

I dance in the 1980 UK finals on the same floor. not only was it a little slippy, but there was a fair bit of bounce on it too!! It that wasn't enough it was a live TV broadcast so if you fell - there was no second chance!
