italodisco

A dance routine, a motif in youth culture, viral on TikTok (“me dancing italodisco”), which originated from the inspiration of the musical hit of summer 2023, the song “Italodisco” by the Italian group The Kolors, recorded in May 2023. The song draws stylistically from Italian electronic disco music of the 1980s. The marketing term italo disco was introduced in 1983 by Bernhard Mikulski, who was the founder of the record label ZYX Music.
