Is Dead as Disco still popular in 2026?

Dead as Disco is a beat 'em up where every hit lands on the beat, so the combat IS the music video. Runs have a clear arc: work through the non-linear boss order, learn each Idol's musical style, and unlock new talents as you go. The whole thing is built for short punchy sessions since each boss fight is basically its own track, and the Score Attack and Infinite Disco modes give you a natural "one more run" hook once you've cleared the story.

Because the vibe carries hard visually, lean into the co-watch angle. Talk through what you're hearing and feeling in the music since that sync between sound and hits is the whole gimmick, and a lot of viewers won't catch it unless you point it out. The non-linear boss order is actually a solid chat interaction point: throw up a poll and let them pick your next Idol. And when you're digging into setlist building from the track pool, walk chat through your reasoning. It's low stakes but it gets people invested in your run before the fight even starts.
