It didn't work. 'Disco' records continued to be made after 1979's 'Death to Disco' movement....



Record labels just started using other terms to describe it like Post-Disco, Nu-Disco, HiNRG, etc.​

Yeah that term post-disco as a music genre lasted until 1985. Exactly what they called heartbeat.

Disco is a continuation of what is called a vamp. The 4/4 measure is what you have been grooving to all your life, whether R&B,Rap,House,Rock n Roll. You are confusing the genre from an artistic standpoint with a musical one. House is disco evolved into stylistic subgenres but it's just the ever present 4/4 measure with stabs instead of lush string or horn arrangements. Visit any party island and you'll hear how Disco evolved but never died,the crowd dresses different and technology pushed the production but it never lost its roots

disco is just commercialized, poppy funk and it never died. That sound is still all over the place, but it's not called Disco any more

This isn't something to celebrate with glee or find funny.

Disco took off so fast in popularity it hammered the final nail in Rock n Roll coffin, and subsequently cacs undertook a campaign to discredit Disco and finally killed it.

They were seething with rage yelling racist shyt at anti Disco protests they held :dahell:
Yup then Rolling Stones dropped 'I miss you'

. Charlie Watts said, "A lot of those songs like 'Miss You' on 'Some Girls' ... were heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of those four-to-the-floor and the Philadelphia-style drumming

And cacs were HEATED.
