So I love progressive stuff. But then if I see the words 'punk' and 'disco' mashed together I think of the 'New Wave' music of the 80s and a lot of that was just quirky silly fun even if it was basic stuff. And as for the Scissor Sisters - I think of them more as a kind of glam revival than anything. Still if this development allows for (a) more musical diversity and (b) more respect for past developments then I am all for it.
