Reply to comment by Daniel_The_Thinker in TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz

Maybe it’s Maybelline

Reply to comment by Pherllerp in TIL in 1979, in between a double-header, the White Sox exploded a crate filled with disco records to stands of over 50k disco haters. Thousands flocked to the field afterward, which became so destroyed that they forfeit the 2nd game to the Tigers - the last time in AL history. by JackMacWindowsLinux

It was anti gay. I’m not sure how people in urban environments would be anti urban but I don’t think the anti disco movement was led in rural America. This particular event had racists at it because it was in a racist area when racism was prevalent in general, but they also owned the records ahead of time which does create some controversy in saying this was purely driven by racism or hate.
