For tax reasons, it was possible to write-off "fantasy" outfits in declaring of income, on the grounds that it would not be possible to wear such outfits in everyday life. This led to many bands wearing highly extravagant matched outfits in their stage performances.
The terms dansband and dansbandsmusik were coined around 1970, when Swedish popular music developed a signature style.
I made this for a laugh.
