Your first disco days

OK, this thread is kind of a spinoff of the music you like thread. It doesn't have to be music you actually like or consider to be among being your favorites. It's just about your first musical memories when you were first released from the confines of your home to get wasted in public. A walk down memory lane, so to speak.

In my teens, which basically exactly coincide with the 90s, discotheques were dominated by the horror that was 90s Eurodance, especially before '95. Although that had ebbed by the time I turned 16, there was still plenty of crap in the charts

Remember this masterpiece?

or this

If you went to a more Rock-minded disco in that year, you would with absolute certainty hear this

which was more acceptable to me at the time. I never was a discothequeperson, and my first most incisive musical (as well as getting wasted) experience was going to Rock am Ring on my 16th birthday, my first Rock Festival, which featured Megadeth, Faith No More, Van Halen, Slash and some crap. Oh, I boycotted the headliner, Bon Jovi.

I recall my first foray into a disco, fall of '75.
Undoubtedly Gloria Gaynor records were being played, LOL. Most likely Casanova Brown and Never Can Say Goodbye.
I was an innocent farm boy (hard to imagine, I know) and walking into the place was literally like in Wizard of Oz when it goes from B/W to color.
Also, I had only been 'out' for a very short period of time, and had never been in the presence of more than 5 or 6 gay people at one time. At the disco, there were 200 !!!
I also immediately noted a few hetero couples and had to ask wazzup with that. Turns out a gay venue was a great place to go if you were out with your mistress instead of your wife, and didn't want to risk being seen. We had a 'straight' guy in our group, he was pretty much there to placate his 'fag hag' GF. We liquored him up and put him in the Mr. Buns contest, which he won.
We never saw him again.
Anyhow, had a great time, and my next step was to go there on my own instead of in a group, heh, heh, if you catch my drift.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Never got into discos until I joined the Air Force ... you gotta find some ass somewhere, right?
Well before that, it was about concerts and playing gigs; those were my first experiences getting trashed and listening to (or playing) music.
Got a little bit of ass from the gigging, not much but enough to keep a twenty-year-old hungry.

I'm significantly younger than all of you in this thread. I haven't really listened to much "disco music". Metal and 60's music is the shit.

The DJ in my club which I loved so dearly for a year or so when I was 17 would play this at the end of every night.
So I have nostalgic feelings of either coming down off some drugs and being desperate and alone or kissing the face off some girl on the dance floor while being high.
In all seriousness though I get so emotional when I hear this song.

This was at the same club, they would have a "mosher" side and a dance floor side, I'd stay in the mosher side usually and go crazy and dance like a twat to this song a lot.

And we would dance ironically joking around pretending to be black gangsters to this one.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I'm assuming he isn't talking literally about disco, that's just what old people call night clubs.
I assumed he was talking about any music you went out to listen to in your teens the first time you went out to listen to music.

Exactly. The Selecters aren't Disco anyway. I believe that style was called Sca and was specific to the black culture in the UK in the late 70ies.
