Why does Melbourne, the classiest city in Australia, have such a problem with street violence? Is it the licensing laws? Is it the parents? No and no. Is it the rise of house music at the expense of disco? Hell yes.
Not every club plays loud, joyless, repetitive, electronically generated sausage-meat music that drives you to kill, kill, and kill again. But let’s put it this way: no-one who has just danced to The Weather Girls' It’s Raining Men has ever gone on to glass someone in the face.
Fiona Scott-Norman, satirist and DJ, argues that street violence can be solved not by sending in the cops, but by sending in the disco police.
