Disco

Disco is a genre of dance-oriented music that originated in African American, gay and Hispanic American communities in 1970s. In what is considered a forerunner to disco style clubs in February 1970 New York City DJ David Mancuso opened The Loft, a members-only private dance club set in his own home. Most agree that the first disco songs were released in 1973, though some claim that Soul Makossa by Manu Dibango’s from 1972 to be the first disco record.

    In the 70s there was a whole feud going on between disco and rock..Rockers weren't suppose to like disco and vice versa..But i liked both when i was a kid and even now..

    DISCO is without doubt, the best music genre for dancing and having a great time. The best parties were made from DISCO music...happy, carefree and gets you in a good mood. I LOVE DISCO music. ♥♥♥

    "Disco sucks"... yeah, right. As if there wasn't also plenty of terrible, generic rock music around at the same time. Disco has/had its faults, like any genre, but at its best, this type of music is just... Inutterably heavenly. Escapism FTW.
