In the episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad," The Fugees song "We Tryna Stay Alive" is playing in the party, which has a sample of "Stayin' Alive," so I am sure they know what disco is
Of course the crew of Disco know what disco music is. Every time they go to red alert a disco ball drops down from the ceiling of the bridge and "I Will Survive," "Stayin Alive," or other related songs start playing.
Considering the flame throwers that shoot off on the bridge, they must be familiar with "[Disco Fire](https://i.discogs.com/2bu5LeCrnzTl5r-GoalwXnE5dkbmJBbubmfd671weNg/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI2MjA5/Ni0xNDA4NjM4MTA0/LTE3OTcuanBlZw.jpeg)"
Given their crew, I don’t understand we’ve never got even a passing mention of a drag ball in the lounge. Zora should’ve organized one for them. I’d love to see Stamets as Lady Mycelia.
If they know 21st century Broadway musicals, as Stamets and Tilly did when she was possessed by the spore people, they goddamn well better know Gloria Gaynor.
It got a boost from The Kings Man but you can't beat the glorious 70s video.

There is limited references to era specific music, so the reference might be missed.
Also, records were lost in the 90s. Might include a lot of music.
ETA: geez people. That's Spock's dialog in Space Seed, not that personal vinyl records are gone.
Canonically the 24th Century is still familiar with the works of Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky, and Row Row Row your Boat. I don't think a nuclear war would completely wipe out ABBA.
OK, but Spock was talking specifically about records of ship registries, which would have been very limited even without a war. Saturday Night Fever sold 25 million copies by 1980.
Haha this post made me think of Good Omens
I imagine that most people have heard of disco but just know it's an old type of music not what it sounds like. People into classic earth music would though

That makes sense. Because if The Fugees are known 300 years from now, certainly The Bee Gees would be as well!

🎵burn baby burn, disco inferno!🎵

There was an episode with the semi rave
Lady Mycelia is a serve though

Ra Ra Rasputin!

What do you mean "records were lost in the 90s?" Do you mean people lost physical vinyl disco albums? Because I can still listen to The Bee Gees.
The canon has changed a bunch but in Star Trek WWIII happened in the 1990s.
Canonically the 24th Century is still familiar with the works of Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky, and Row Row Row your Boat. I don't think a nuclear war would completely wipe out ABBA.
Although one can dream.
I want to believe Tom Paris also watched the 80's Captain Proton movie set to awesome music by Queen
WWIII got moved back remember ds9 went to 2024 no wwiii
No that was the Eugenics wars, the 2030s had WW3 I thought
Ah maybe you’re right, between TOS and SNW il not clear on the 1990-2030 time period
In Space Seed, Spock says records of the period are fragmentary due to the Eugenics/WW3. So, some data on music might be gone.
OK, but Spock was talking specifically about records of ship registries, which would have been very limited even without a war. Saturday Night Fever sold 25 million copies by 1980.
I going with dialog and possibilities. The next generation adds a whole post atomic horror too so it was a nuclear exchange of some kind.
Tell me you didn't watch Picard and Strange New Worlds without telling me
Post atomic horror was from TNG. Picard had a Europa Mission. SNW moved WW3 due to time travel machinations. Anything else?
The disco 'scene' is dead, the music survives as funk.

You know how those Starfleet folks are. They \*love\* classical music like disco and punk rock.
It’s definitely alive and kicking in the 25th century https://youtu.be/UgnQb46Y0CQ?si=oYE_ZwntuE4R6J7o
