This trope would be about people who act as though they are still around, plaster posters all over their homes, compare every other rock song in existence unfavorably to Beatles songs, and may only listen to other music as long as it's nothing past 1980 (or by ex-Beatles). These people are basically trying to bend reality back to the way they want it by sheer force of will. And that's with a band who are still relatively popular and influential; those who are besotted by something that is Deader Than Disco can be even worse. Usually, this is played for laughs. We get a funny character, who is a walking anachronism by simple virtue of denial. Bonus points if this character forces other people to act as though this reality is true. Curiously enough, more than a few of these characters have an affection for disco music, hence the title. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
