Has there ever been a genre fall off faster than Disco?

[Ricky Dunigan]

The backlash was very If you get down to it. Like it or not, Disco was our music.

And yea, the gay stigma didn’t help its reputation.

 

[Spade]

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

One time for KC and the sunshine band

Cracker use to be two stepping behind that keyboard

Disco didn't "fall off", it was deliberately killed. The whole "disco sucks" movement was fueled by anti Blackness and homophobia.

Absolutely. White people's racist insecurity about Disco's success led to the infamous "Disco demolition night"

Jodeci came in
R Kelly.came in

Sound got more rugged..thugged out and sexual

Same with rap. Nikkas cut their hair short and stopped dancing

 

[bigde09]

New Jack was shorter. By the time Michael Jackson put out dangerous it was already on it's way out. MJ lowkey jumped on it late.

 

[kevm3]

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

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

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

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.
