I generally thought of the music of that era that kind of forced people to almost dance as kind of disco. LiberalArkie Aug 2025 #5

A-Ha was not disco.
It's run as a hit was at least 4 years after the death of disco.
They were 80s synth pop.
I always get a kick out of this kid! I watch a lot of his videos.
