Simon Frith: Disco is the sound of consumption

"Disco is the sound of consumption. It exists only in its dancing function: when the music stops all that’s left is a pool of sweat on the floor. And disco’s power is the power of consumption."


...

"disco is dance music in the abstract, content determined by form."
