Disco Balls originated in the 1970's, the age of Rollerskating, Platform Shoes and Afros. The Disco Ball would hang from the ceilings of Rollerskating Rinks, playing funky disco music that everyone can get down to! The Disco Ball also provided colored light, often for black men with afros who wore jerseys and bell-bottom pants while they skated around. The people who attended these meetings were known as Disco Ballers. Mr. T was also known to be a popular Disco Baller. However, the Disco Balls were known for their hard-to-miss glitches, such as shooting death rays instead of light, or falling from the ceiling onto an unsuspecting victim.
