Disco Trolls

The mentioning of "Disco" was made in passing comment by Branch in Trolls World Tour. When Prince D notes the map Queen Poppy has of Troll Kingdom is out of date, Branch says "Oh yeah, he’s right, look at that. It still has Disco".
Still, the joke implies that at one stage, Disco Trolls did exist and have since gone extinct.

The Disco Trolls were at some point born from within the existing Tribes as a random variant or mutation on their Tribes genre of music, as part of the "in between" category of music. Their origin Tribe is currently unknown, but this led to a new type of Troll coming into existence. They gained a significant amount of traction as a genre, enough to gain their genre notably and it was even noted on Poppy's map in Trolls World Tour as pointed out by Branch. Their absence in Trolls World Tour, however, implied these Trolls later became extinct.
What happened to these Trolls to make them go extinct is unknown, as a result nothing else is known about these Trolls except of their implied existence.
They were brought up when talking about Hip hop Trolls by Prince D, which was not on Poppy's map because it was too recent and the map was dated.

Branch's comment is a joke that "Disco is dead", although it's actually quite a sad one. The joke has been made in popular culture from time to time as a reference to popular trends in culture that suddenly "die" over night. The event that often said to have "killed Disco" is the Disco Demolition Night explosion, which caused a cultural backlash and riots.
The extinction of the Disco Trolls is explainable by the fact that a lot of the Trolls World Tour movie had been a commentary on music itself. During a Rolling Stone interview, screenwriter Jonathan Aibel had mentioned that to him on the New York Times article "The Rap Against Rockism", which proposed that pop, disco and hip hop were just as important as rock was. When asked if he had read it, Aibel answered he hadn't, and went on to explain that for him the idea that rock had died was hard to accept, as it came out of nowhere and wasn't there when his parents were growing up. This had happened to his parents with bands like "The Beatles". Aibel explained that things come and go.https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/trolls-world-tour-music-criticism-990498/

*Interestingly enough, the only major Troll family that was severely impacted by the Trolls World Tour tribe system is the retired "Retro Trolls" family. Its members were all based on the 20th century era, with "Berry" specifically being a Disco Troll. They appeared in the Trolls: Crazy Party Forest! app, and were part of the original Trolls family grouping.
*The Disco Trolls and Retro Trolls are the only two troll species that have no living members.
*Fragments of some references to disco are found in the Pop Trolls and Troll Forest, with Glitter Trolls being described as resembling a discoball and even acting like them when hung by their hair by a branch or the ceiling. Other references include "Dark Side Of The Lagoon" where "Star Maker" created Discoballs and Laguna Tidepool finding what she thoughts was an ancient Pop Troll disco ball in "Cloud Control". Flora such as "Globis Shimmulatum", as seen in "Troll Rangers", and "Disculb Ball", as seen in "Daylight Ravings Time", grow naturally in the Pop Trolls homeland.
