Does an authentic disco band like Hercules and Love Affair automatically transform any song into a 100% authentic experience, even if they are ‘mainstream alt legends’ like Cut Copy?

I feel like Hercules & Love Affair is so authentic that my parents ‘made me listen 2 it’ as a kid or something.

‘donchya wish ur girlfriend was hot like me?’ – the summer jam of 1994

Have u guys heard of Hercules & Love Affair? They’re disco and they’re authentic.
How do u feel abt them? Can I just call them SCISSOR SISTERS 2.0 without a presence on VH1? (I don’t think that is an insult).

I don’t appreciate them as much as other people do, but maybe I will 1 day.
KEEP HOPE ALIVE.
NEVER BE CLOSED-MINDED.

I read about TIEDYE on BiBaBiDi, and I was intrigued because they are on the ITALIANS DO IT BETTER rcrd label. This label has 2 of my most-played bands of 2k7: Glass Candy & The Chromatics. I used to think GlassCandy/The Chromatics were pretty authentic, but I think things are getting waaay more authentic. You can’t just have a heavy arpeggio and a cute broad with a decent voice singing any more.

Authentic disco is pretty complex, because it can be fun, but at the same time, it can be rlly meaningful. It’s for high-end markets who truly appreciate audio production, musical history, and fitting in. What other authentic disco acts do you listen to?
