The Return of Marilyn's and the Death of the Teen Disco

In the ‘80s and early '90s, underage nightclubs flourished — the Odyssey and 321 on the Westside, Phases in the Valley, Network in Glendale and Marilyn’s Back Street in Pasadena. There were also all-ages nights at Circus Disco in Hollywood, and makeshift happenings that kids hit every week on the deeper outskirts of L.A., the most notable at an amusement park, of all places (the disco at Knott's Berry Farm called Studio K). This weekend, Marilyn's returns, providing a place for 40-something former club kids to relive their dance music-driven youth.
