Too late. That stuff is coded, canonized, sealed off, and exhausted of all its creative possibilities. Pop, too, is rockist.

You made Disco rockist.
I can't believe you made Disco rockist.
I'm off to work but no EDM is Pop by the standards of rockism which is what you're using to venerate disco. And I'm not saying that as a dismissal of disco but you've basically turned it into the more 'authentic' medium because you can quantify the exhibition of labor in it's creation.
Tom Moulton is less capable of the writing and formulation of the music he's responsible for than Calvin Harris as an instrumentalist. By that right Calvin Harris is actually superior to he, and then EDM in his hands trumps disco.
I'm not solely dismissing you, I'm just baffled at how you've taken what was considered a massive bugbear of inauthentic music in popular culture (at least by US standards) and made it The Real. I'm almost impressed, but I'm also staggered. Take it for what you will.
You're right that none of us are intellectuals. We chased them Away years and years ago, quite deliberately.

I actually dabble in EDM. Corpse is a Calvin Harris appreciator (albeit begrudgingly).
Maybe we should reinvestigate the muck.
"Popular media feeds a machine, classical "high art" or whatever you want to call it, provides an inimitable experience that cannot be replicated."
Is.... I don't get it? Why? How? Similarly in what world is a CD experienced in the same way by everyone, or in the same way by ourselves at various different times? What can this possibly mean? How could it possibly be true?

I wonder if part of the reason the biggest disco anthems survive is that they sound very 70s or 80s, so they have an additional cachet of nostalgia, whereas Get Lucky doesn't sound like 2017, or whenever it came out?
