Club goers/psychedelic communities
Reaction against both the domination of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music
Dance styles e.g - bump and hustle
Four on the floor beat
'Lush' background sound
Overtly sexual dancing
Glamorous and extravagant fashions - sheer flowing dresses or loose flared pants. Tight, revealing, sexy clothes, such as backless halter tops, "hot pants" or body-hugging spandex bodywear or "catsuits". Colourful patterns.
Glitter, makeup, sequins, gold - reflect under lights
Skimpy outfits, nearly nude
Drug subculture - cocaine and poppers
1970s club drug Quaalude, which suspended motor coordination and gave the sensation that one's arms and legs had turned to "Jell-O." Quaaludes were so popular at disco clubs that the drug was nicknamed "disco biscuits"
Ministry of Sound Funky House Classics
Rampant promiscuity and public sex - dancefloor = arena of seduction. Actual sex = bathroom stalls, exit stairways etc.
Studio 54 - Manhattan - celeb hangout - notorious for the hedonism that went on within; the balconies were known for sexual encounters, and drug use was rampant. Its dance floor was decorated with an image of the "Man in the Moon" that included an animated cocaine spoon.
