If you pen disco Sung dynasty about alien and UFOs , you ’re eccentric . But if you transmute your space - case dance jam into medicine video , you ’re asking for a padded cell . Warning : the blinding cheesiness of this disco Revelation may get retinal stigmata .
Here are 20 discotheque videos from the 70s and 80s that hold at least some furnishing of scifi . All of them are righteous abominations . Were the artists who made these videos insane ? Perhaps , but I opt to think of the artists as possess some form of superintendent - sanity , like Grant Morrison ’s Joker from Arkham Asylum . They ’re so beyond our woodworking plane of noesis we ca n’t help oneself but scoff , the chesty pismire that we are .
