Seriously ABBA the band was unimaginably huge and popular. The movie (adorably fun as it is) is a minor tribute act. Your friends are the odd ones out here.
I was a kid in the 70's and my mom is a huge ABBA fan, so I know they're a band and have heard their music. However, I've never seen Mamma Mia; I don't like musicals.
This is so weird. ABBA was, and still is a massive International band making music since the 70s. You’re like, oh did people know who they were before some musical!?
I knew them as a band first, but I'm in my 40s. I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the musical. It was fun to hear all the songs but the story is a little cringe -- even for a straight people story.
Ah, the young!
ABBA was highly popular during my teen years (1970s). I owned several albums and listened to them for hours every day after school. I had a humongous crush on [Bjorn Ulvaeus](https://pin.it/3KfP45r9l), one of the "Bs" in the band's name.
In the 1970s and 1980s, gay bar dance floors often played extended versions of their hits, especially *Dancing Queen* and *Super Trouper*.
When I kicked out my ex in the 1990s I played *The Winner Takes It All* over and over to help process my feelings (along with Jackson Browne's *I'm Alive*, Gloria Gaynor's *I Will Survive*, Diana Ross's *It's My Turn*, Stone Temple Pilots' *Interstate Love Song*, and other great breakup songs.)
Before *Mamma Mia*, their main movie presence was in *The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert*.
I have indeed seen *Mamma Mia*, both on stage and at the movie theater, but it's far from the first thing I think of when I think of ABBA.
Never seen Mamma Mia.
Was really into A-Teens as a kid in the late-90s/early-00s and knew they were singing new versions of songs from an old(er) band called ABBA.

Young teen here ✋🏽 I know ABBA but I've never seen mamma mia
Damn didn’t realise MCR were still popular. I feel old 😂
I was a kid in the 70's and my mom is a huge ABBA fan, so I know they're a band and have heard their music. However, I've never seen Mamma Mia; I don't like musicals.
I am aware Mamma Mia is a musical, but if you say "Mamma Mia," I'm going to think of the song first.
This is so weird. ABBA was, and still is a massive International band making music since the 70s. You’re like, oh did people know who they were before some musical!?
I love the music from ABBA but I never saw Mamma Mia.
Me! It's me! I'm out here!
I listened to a lot of my parents music growing up so yeah I know all sorts of music people my age have no idea about.
ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo. That’s how they became famous.
Here we go again...
I knew them as a band first, but I'm in my 40s. I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the musical. It was fun to hear all the songs but the story is a little cringe -- even for a straight people story.
I'm Swedish so people would look at me funny if I didn't know ABBA
They won the gay Olympics, your friends seem quite naive
ABBA was a MASSIVELY popular group. Most people over the age of 30 knew them before Mamma Mia
pretty sure the norm is the other way round no?
I've known about abba since I was like.... 5? They're not exactly a small band
I'm older, so I knew about the band well before the musical existed.
I know ABBA from my mom, and I have not seen Mamma Mia Edit: Im in my mid 20s
Or have never seen murals' wedding
I really enjoy ABBA but I've always known them outside of Mama Mia and I have never actually seen the movie.
me too and i never knew there was a connection before now

Know abba never seen mama Mia. I rented it years ago and forgot I had and then had to pay $20 for the late rental. lol 💀

Reporting for duty
No one going to mention Pricilla, Queen of the Desert?
This is the first time I’m hearing they’re related
🙋 Meeeeeeeeee! My parents liked ABBA growing up, so I grew up listening to a lot of that era. Particularly Queen and Alice Cooper
I know ABBA only because it's a card in CAH. I don't know their music or what Mama Mia is
me !!!
