Disco Revolt (Isbellan: Revuelta Disco) was a series of anti-establishment cultural phenomenon and political movements based around disco music and the night life of modern cities in Elaklania during the 60s and 70s. Disco Revolt was the first major anti-establishment movement in Elaklania and was at least partially responsible for some of the biggest changes in the country’s political history.

Sparked originally by the emergence of disco, the authoritarian rule of President Juan Esteban Cazalla, and his national policy of Nueva iluminación which banned disco music for its “impure qualities” as the movement spread it gradually became less about disco and more about various social issues which the state had not addressed since its inception. Civil rights, feminism, and sexual liberation became more prominent within the movement until entirely new movements were established, most notably being Citizens United.
