The disappearance of disco music

One can find the main reason of what disco music disappeared and it is because of the dislikes and intolerance of other genres, like rock and punk subculture.  In the United States and United Kingdom were the principal sources of rejection to this kind of music. A radical sentiment born in the 70’S to make life impossible for disco DJs, this anti-disco sentiment took as slogan “Disco Suck” and “Death to Disco”.

There was an important event that marked the end of the disco music; it was in July 12 1979 at Comiskey Park where Chicago rock radio DJ Steve Dahl organized a public burning of disco records inside the stadium where people were exclaiming “disco suck”. It was how in early 1980 the term “disco” disappeared from the public sphere.

So that was how appear other terms to refer disco music, because although it was kind of forbidden, it stills remained in gay, African America, and Latin people’s life. So there were created a very similar genre known as “dance music” or “club music”.
