** Dan won't talk about or acknowledge anything that occurred after 1979. This keeps him from using computers, the Internet, and many other facets of modern technology. Dan only uses calendars from the 1970s, so he shows up for appointments on the wrong day. All the other characters are embarrassed to be around Dan in public and desperately try to get him to tone it down. Any attempts to question his dedication to this lead to violent and sometimes dangerous outbursts. Eventually, it's revealed that Dan underwent some trauma in the 1970s, and is psychologically unable to move on. The plot of the story is based around working through Dan's inner demons and helping him overcome his past.

* '''Played For Horror''':
** People doing the "Disco is dead and it sucked, Bob, just accept it" quipping discover too late that this is a murderous BerserkButton for Bob.
** Bob is revealed to be a demon or violent ghost and his love of the Seventies is because his 'glory days' back then were thoroughly blood-soaked.
** Bob is so determined to bring Disco back that he does [[EvilReactionary destructive, murderous]], possibly [[RealityWarper reality-destroying]] and probably [[DealWithTheDevil literally Satanic]] things to make it happen.
