Sažetak
In this chapter, the author looks at the remarkable yet unexplored disco culture that thrived in Yugoslavia from the second half of the 1970s until the early 1980s. He traces Yugoslav disco as a Western pop import and then examine various practices of its appropriation within diverse musical and cultural milieus that gave rise to its indigenous Yugoslav form. The author approaches Yugoslav disco as a dynamic cultural phenomenon, both as a pop music niche with constituent stylistic and visual codes, and as a cultural practice. Discomania seeds were planted with the first Yugoslav discotheques. Ranging from refurbished youth clubs to semi-private cafes built for business, these venues mushroomed across the urban and semi-urban environments and became the “hottest” new places for socializing. Disco emerged at a time when the consumption gap between East and West was increasingly closing in the late 1970s, and served as a prime manifestation of the explosion of market socialism.
