Since the tl is very Disco and retro it’s important to know that the history of Disco and the ending of the genre was fueled by racism and anti-blackness. The infamous burning of disco records in Chicago was a response much like the intro to hiphop and rap. Simply BC it was black
Artists like Motown from the late 60s influenced the era of Disco. Black TV shows like Soul train and the fashion of Disco became mainstream and stolen by white artists. It was another genre that became apart of pop culture but was also the target of anti blackness and racism
That said. Disco was all inclusive. This era was where a lot of hippie white teens and young adults also became a niche crowd and enjoyed the nightlife.
