Disco

Disco is a musical genre and subculture that originated in the 1970s in the United States, in nightlife centers as diverse as New York City. Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Aspen, San Francisco, and more. It eventually influenced the Techno, House, and burgeoning Raver scenes of the 1980s and 90s. It is associated with Disco music, as well as the fashion of disco clubs during the period.
The fashions ranged from a sleek, satin-coated bohemia to night-glam-rock-quasi-futuristic ensembles. It was a semi-androgynous fashion movement (much as Glam Rock was).
These Disco artists went on to influence music in the late '70s & early '80s. This later led to the creation of Sophisti-Pop, a hybrid of blue-eyed Soul & Synth-Pop seen in the New Romantic movement. It even influenced City Pop, which in turn led to the modern music of Future Funk.
It’s also the source of Electric Boogaloo, a dance style that would lead to the future development of B-Boys/Breakdancers.
