Desperate face-saving journalism major spotted

>disco songs on the radio all day every day during 1978-79
>every suburban shopping mall had a disco dance hall
>rock artists bandwagoning disco, the crooners from earlier days like Ethel Merman and Johnny Mathis bandwagoning disco
>little kids doing disco, old people doing disco
>disco merch in every fucking store
>scores of awful, fly-by-night artists making disco albums
It became very sickening very fast.

Disco was absolute shit and the DDN was an objectively positive event but at the same time I can't go and pretend like the dudes who participated in wrecking those records then went home and put on their Iggy Pop and Public Image Ltd. albums. They were all probably listening to AC/DC and Journey.

I'd rather listen to disco than iggy pop tb.h

most of it was shit but the same can be said about almost every genre

>went home and put on their Iggy Pop and Public Image Ltd. albums
both of which put out some pretty danceable songs

true

>he thinks Iggy Pop and PIL were better than AC/DC simply because they appeared in a Cuckgau top albums list

No, punk normies are lame. Disco is amazing.

That's because you have some abysmal taste.

its not like they were wrong, but it did show the absolute failure of the punk ethos that it just got simplified into a kneejerk reactionary attitude

chinese disco is even better.

Really? The excess quote marks usually indicates this was just another stupid teen copying crap they saw elsewhere.

It was perfectly normal and inevitable for disco to loose popularity considering how massive it was at its peak, but the all-out backlash was kinda overplayed. The self-righteousness of rockbros thinking they were doing a public service by virtue signalling about how much they hated disco was cringe as hell.

Did disco ever truly die, though? Giorgio Moroder kept having hits. It seems to me like it just changed aesthetics.

Rock won the battle but disco won the war. Mainstream rock music was already dead and stagnant once disco came on the scene, meanwhile disco pretty much started the dance music revolution that informed entire epochs of pop music history for decades to come.
Also what said. The genre never died, it's just that as soon as rock fans pushed it out of the top 40 they stopped paying attention.

Germany Needs a EDM Riot
The Clubs over their are even more pretentious than 70's Disco clubs

>DDN was an objectively positive event
It was literally a corporate publicity stunt

>Mainstream rock music was already dead and stagnant once
I'm pretty sure that wasn't until the 2000s.

Creatively speaking, that is. Rock was still popular but the top 40 rock radio landscape was a hellish wasteland from the mid/late-70s onward. Most of the best stuff was underground, which normies didn't care about.

>It was everywhere, it was an annoying, upper class scene and
I'll never get how Cuckgau was so favorable to disco considering he should have hated its upper class bourgeois white person fanbase.

That would have started in 1969-ish though. During 64-68, loads of rock made top 40. By 69, rock was increasingly turning to AOR and top 40 ceased having anything but pop. On rare occasion there would be a rocker like Cat Scratch Fever that made the top 40, but rock was mostly not heard on the radio after 68, excepting manufactured corporate pop rock like Bread and Doobie Brothers.

Like rap, it was made by and for lower-status minorities but suburban white kids eventually made up a majority share of the consumer base.

Oh you know why, because it was a "hip" urban scene and to him the enemy has always been some guy with a handlebar mustache who drives a Firebird while listening to High Voltage.

Thats funk, disco was more commercialised. Anything after 1980 was pretty much post-disco, Nile Rodgers said everyone in the industry was scared to make disco because of how big the backlash was against it.

I like Italodisco myself
