Thread 127435087

can you believe boomers chimped out over disco when in retrospect you consider what passes for club/dance music in the 21st century? i guess nobody yet imagined Skrillex.

>>127435087 (OP)
at the risk of dragging it into bullshit american culture war territory, I always thought a lot of the negative reaction to disco was because it was associated with blacks and gays and didnt particularly have a great deal to do with the music itself

Man people back in the day REALLY cared about music. Music used to have the power to incite riots. Now you can release practically the most offensive shit of whatever you wanted and nobody will bat an eye.

>>127435152
only the most low IQ SJWs thought that though

>>127435152
This is mostly true, it was more of a racism/homophobic reaction more than anything.

Disco was grossly overplayed on the radio in 78-79. In fact DDN happened because Steve Dahl was fired from a radio station for disobeying their "75% disco records at all times" mandate.

>>127435172
didn't The Rite of Spring's debut performance start a riot?

>>127435152
yeah that Barry Gibb was very black and gay amirite?

>>127435256
BTW a lot of the early disco clubs in NYC had a gay clientele. That said the stuff played in those clubs was nothing like the formula pop disco that flooded the airwaves after Saturday Night Fever.

>>127435186
This was an embarrassment to the city of Chicago and there were calls of racism afterwards.
It was staged by then morning shock jock Steve Dahl who had been let go by WDAI when they turned their format to disco.
So instead of acting like a grown adult Dahl took it upon himself to be the head of anti disco movement and after being hired by rival WLUP, got
permission from White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf to have a bonfire on the baseball field. It was a fiasco to say the least.
Dahl was a thin skinned DJ who had no problem with insulting and making fun of other radio DJ's in the city but if anyone poked fun at him such as his weight, (he had a weight problem), he would cry foul and take offense to it. His on air partner and friend Garry Meir stopped talking to him and quit the show after Dahl
thought it would be fun to insult Garry's fiancé on-air, they never spoke again even after Dahl literally cried on air over it.
But one of the worst things he ever did was when Des Plaines police began pulling bodies out of John Wayne Gacy's crawlspace, Dahl thought it would be hilarious to record a parody called "Another Kid in the Crawl" set to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" and play it whenever another body was discovered.

BTW my cousin went to school with one of Gacy's victims. He didn't know the kid personally, but he was hitchhiking to a concert like tons of teenagers in the 70s did and had the horrible misfortune to be offered a ride by Gacy.

The Billboard in 1980 was still full of disco hits well after DDN.

>>127435307
I always associated disco with being a phenomena specific to the Ford-Carter years so I'm fine with the idea of it ending once Reagan was in office. I don't associate disco with the 80s at all.

>>127435152
No you're right

>>127435087 (OP)
I want to beat the DARE and Charli XcX to a pulp for ruining club music what their shitty discography

>>127435268
Exactly. It's time to take the disco pill.

https://youtu.be/39JerMg2IQE

now on the one had you had the rockfags who were greasy Camaro driving guys who drank beer and disco people who were glop-haired jocks who went in clubs with a girl in their arm and drank bad cocktails. so there was a culture clash between them.

>>127435268
The pop disco stuff like Chic and Donna Summer was for straight normies they didn't play that in gay clubs who had totally different stuff being bumped.

>>127435353
It continued but people call it something else. "Boogie funk" and such. If you really want to explore what disco was all about in the 80s I recommend these compilations:

https://www.discogs.com/label/447835-Nighttime-Lovers

>>127435152
Bee Gees are black and gay?

>>127435353
Studio 54 closed in February 1980 and was sold to new owners who operated it for five more years but it was never the same again.

>>127435405
>they didn't play that in gay clubs who had totally different stuff being bumped
They were playing stuff like Madleen Kane in the gay venues not fucking Chic.

>>127435420
Studio 54 is more associated with the excess than the actual music. Look to Paradise Garage if you want to understand what was really going on. More than any one club closing what really did a number on all of this was AIDS. House music was disco's revenge though.

The US economy collapsed into recession in 79 which killed off the disco bubble and a lot of other 70s excesses.

>>127435373
>>127435430
I posted Larry in 79, but here he is in 85 showing disco wasn't dead. It sounded a bit different but it was very much alive as a culture.

https://youtu.be/luAx0xKWiRo

>>127435353
I think it was more like 82-83 when disco was over, when U2 and The Human League and Duran Duran started getting popular. That's when the 70s officially ended in my opinion and 80-81 still mostly sounded like the 70s.

>>127435474
decades from a cultural POV tend to actually start in their third year so yes 80-81 felt like a continuation of the late 70s with the "real" 80s beginning in 82

>>127435487
Physical and Let's Groove were both 81 releases and clearly showed a new era/decade was here. After Reagan was in office it was also obvious anything 70s from a cultural POV had ended. And the tale of two films, Xanadu and Fame, both made largely in 79 and released in 80; one was a box office bomb and showcased disco as a dinosaur on life support; the other one was a vibrant and diverse mix of the performing arts action that had left disco in the dust.

>>127435426
right...the Bee Gees, DS, and Chic were like the "face" of disco and they made music that was obviously targeted at hetero normies not gays. The record labels destroyed disco as so many poor/appalling records were released in its name. Nile Rodgers is a bit bitter about that anti-disco, he's entitled to be, he wasn't responsible for the demise. Dance music went on to do very fine. It was all for the best.

Disco was being sold to old people and little kids and as fun for the whole family after SNF.
Rock acts started putting their take on it out.

Didn't seem to matter if it was great (Stones) or marginal, if it had a four on the floor beat, it was expected to hit the charts I think we kind of maxed out when Pink Floyd put out an extended dance 12 inch for a song off The Wall.

but during the early days in the mid-70s people wanted to chill out and go dancing once the shitstorm of the protest era was over.

>>127435513
I doubt The Bee Gees got any play but Donna Summer made I Feel Love. Giorgio Moroder went the fuck off with that one. It was one of the first things of it's kind and is undeniably iconic. It did get played in gay clubs. It influenced what came after it. You can hear shades of it in the music Larry Levan is playing in his sets in the 80s that are on YouTube. But tracking down recordings and accounts of this era you can see they thrived on novelty. Constant new music being sought out. Record labels bringing them promos. Looking for European imports. A copy of Soul Makossa on a 45 being found in some weird shop then getting played at the Loft. Chic is important to disco, but maybe not so much it's progression.

>>127435550
nta but it seemed early Donna had a more gay camp feel but Bad Girls crossed her over to the normie audience

>>127435557
I Feel Love transcends that even. It's both a defining moment of disco and a blueprint for 80s synthpop to copy at the same time.

The stupidest thing people (who were actually there) said about Disco Demolition until recently
>It killed the genre forever
As if the charts weren't full of disco-adjacent, thinly disguised disco and not-even-trying to-hide disco records for the coming years. And the stupidest thing people (who weren't actually there) say about Disco Demolition now
>It was targeting the poor gays and blacks :'(

the Ethel Merman disco album might have been the point where it was time to stop

>>127435575
SJWs just need some kind of victim narrative.

DDN was weird because other instances of music backlash were usually conservative Christfags burning Beatles or heavy metal records which was not what was happening here.

>>127435377
The rock audience in the 70s was a bit unwashed, blue collar, and discofags were rich yuppies who wore expensive clothing, drove a Lincoln, wore expensive cologne etc so you see where the cultural clash came out of.

Disco at its best had good songs at its core—eg, early to mid 70s. As the decade went on it went less with actual songs and more with “dance tracks”. I keep thinking about that 60 Minutes segment where some producer is mixing some really boring track that didn’t sound like it had melody, verses, choruses, etc.

I guess dance tracks have a function for getting people out on the floor, but you don't really want to listen to them in your living room.

>>127435612
that sounds like wubstep. absolutely boring and absent of any melody or anything but a beat.

>>127435614
As an oldfag who was there in the 90s when house and techno were at their peak I couldn't understand what the deal with dubstep was either or why Shitlennials would listen to anything that one dimensional.

>>127435623
I only liked it when it was really raw and aggressive. Not just moody.

https://youtu.be/5nGGrFj3j24

>>127435297
so it was that guy's idea and he organised it
tens of thousands of people still showed up and rioted though, its not as if he was foisting it on an unreceptive audience

>>127435651
In their defense if you get a bunch of drunken shitheads riled up it doesn't take much to make them riot. People riot when their sports team loses. People riot when their sports team wins. It's just heightened emotions, drunkenness, and mob mentality. The le rayciss explanations are giving these people too much credit. They were probably just thinking YEAH MAN FUCK THE BEE GEES LET'S BURN SOME SHIT!

Another thought while I'm rambling. It would be easy to be a hipster and dismiss every popular disco record ever because fags weren't dancing to it. But Foxy's Get Off is just as important to disco as a lot of the deeper cuts. You need to know obvious starting points like Love Is The Message before you dive all the way in. This music was born because people in the underground club scene liked specific records. They wanted them to be longer so they could spend more time dancing to them. Also digging culture started with disco. Like imagine this record finding appreciation by any other group of people:

https://youtu.be/tAxhvcJ-B2s

>>127435087 (OP)
Skrillex is good.

I have way more rock albums in my library than disco but Off the Wall is better than every one of them

>>127435923
>two good tracks+filler.

>>127435691
sporting events in the 70s were rowdy and full of drunk young men who would start fights, they were not as family safe or gentrified as today

>>127435691
nahbut people did show up specifically for the disco demolition event tho. they reckon the average attendance for a game was ~20k at the time but at least 50k came on record burning day, many even forcing their way into the stadium. people will disagree about the underlying motivation but theres no doubt it was strong. there WAS a big, negative and emotional response to disco among that demographic, whatever the demographic was exactly, and it wasnt drummed up overnight by a single fired DJ

>>127436236
There wasn't a lot else to back then, no Internet, video games were Pong shit, no cable TV, no way to watch movies at home unless they were being rerun on TV.
This was a promotion to get fans in the park for a double header baseball game in 79.

If you brought a record, you got in the park for less than a dollar, and beer was less than a dollar.
The team expected about 25,000 and 50,000 showed up. It wasn't a big surprise what happened next.
A bunch of Chicago kids bored on a summer night, got into a stadium for 7 hours cheap, got completely sloshed, and ran amuck on the field between games.

There's issues at football events overseas currently and nobody does anything there but give lip service to it.
But we're pretty bold judging a bunch of drunken kids in 1979, being light on facts and heavy on 21st century "moral judgements."
Not a big fan of that.

Here was another pretty nasty drunken riot at a baseball game in the summer time, five years earlier.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-Cent_Beer_Night

it was all the horrible novelty disco like Disco Duck, the Mickey Mouse Disco Album, the Ethel Merman Disco Album, the Brady Bunch Variety Hour etc none of which was actually being played in the clubs.

>>127435377
Rock had a lot of songs about sex but the music was rarely actually sexy, it never matched funk or disco for capturing the auditory sensation of fucking.

>>127436313
At least the Mickey Mouse disco album did have one good cultural contribution:

https://www.whosampled.com/sample/10780/Fatboy-Slim-Praise-You-Walt-Disney-Records-Studio-Group-It%27s-a-Small-World/

>>127436313
Hey now that was cheesy but it was fun which is something missed in the last decade of remarkably unfun mass culture.

George Clinton said something like the idea of disco was better than the reality especially when it became commercialized and all the songs sounded exactly the same.

>>127436361
lol you wouldn't find a more sworn enemy of disco than GC. contemporary P-Funk tracks and album liner notes have numerous swipes at disco.

>>127436313
it got diluted in a hurry and also disco was very very much a regional and especially NYC sound which is where most of the non-commercial slop came out of

i didn't know Stephen Stills played uncredited percussion on some disco tracks. oh well, a paycheck's a paycheck i guess.

Even the Dead got into disco with Shakedown Street.

>>127436404
As well as an Italian thing. Italians were a huge part of making the early disco scene happen. Francis Grasso, David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Steve D’Acquisto, Michael Cappello. They influenced a lot of the African American and Latino DJs who went on to become much bigger names.

Take a gander at the Billboard in 79 and you'd see why people got butthurt. If aliens had landed on Earth back then they would have thought disco was the official music of our species. What started out cool turned into a parody of one hit wonders like "Ring My Bell."

I think Rock The Boat back in 74 was the first #1 disco record. That got played in NYC clubs and RCA requested it be remixed and it started getting airplay. Eventually Wally Holmes the writer of the song suggested redoing it with a different rhythm section as he considered the original recording garbage.

lol It's Raining Men. that song had a funny story because it was turned down by Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand, and Cher before The Weather Girls (literallywho?) recorded it and it became a top 10 hit.

>>127435087 (OP)
The Stones even had Miss You.

>>127436538
As a dedicated, long-time, Stones fan I hate that song so fucking much.

>>127436538
>>127436564
In all fairness although Mick Jagger is quite proud of that song and considers it one of the crown jewels in their catalog (as well as how it became one of their live staples) he also said it's not and wasn't meant to be a disco tune.

>>127436528
https://youtu.be/9irdrSyL4LA

I remember the PBS docu about the rise and fall of disco but it really just painted things into a meme corner about CIS het chud rock white males hating on poor helpless nonbinary colored gay people's music which is laughable and has nothing to do with what actually happened in the 70s.

>>127436528
At minimum I can't picture Streisand singing anything that silly, she was always far too uptight and preening for that.

https://desuarchive.org/mu/thread/127426322/
Not entirely accurate. Originally "How Deep Is Your Love" was supposed to go to Elliman and "If I Can't Have You" to the Bee Gees but Bob Stigwood swapped them.

>>127436651
it's PBS wtf did you expect?

>>127435307
Not really though. It mostly died after that

Disco was mostly about dancing and feeling the rhythm or some shit like that, it had pretty much one note lyrics while rock had cool instrumentals, guitar solos, lyrics about sex, intergalactic spaceships, political struggle/we live in a society, the Devil etc (in short everything Cuckgau hated) and there wasn't an actual band just people on a dance floor with the music played over the sound system so you can see why a lot of kids never bought into the disco aesthetic and somehow SJWs like in that PBS docu came up with some silly construction that it was all redneck racists who didn't like trans black people's music or some shit like that.

>>127435152
Mostly true but its also just the superiority complex rock listeners had

in 79 was where disco became truly oversaturated and that's when the backlash kicked in.

I mean, you had "Mickey Mouse Disco" and "Ethel Merman Disco" and "Arthur Fiedler Disco" (paraphrasing the titles) - they were just on it and on it and on it.

>>127436801
60s-70s rockers doing disco tracks wasn't too bad because most of those guys were still active working artists trying to make current material. Some of them were probably bandwagoners who did disco to get airplay but I'm not sure it was always the case. When people with no connection to anything contemporary were doing it, then it was all downhill. Nobody minded Pink Floyd or the Stones making a disco track because they were still under the age of 40 and in their prime as musicians. When ancient fucks from pre-Beatles days started doing disco tracks, then yeah.

To be fair, it was probably really annoying at the time

>>127436489
if you asked Italian boomers disco was a way of life back then and there was no Internet or way to obtain music short of spending your hard earned money at the record store

>>127436842
It's not like it was impossible for them to make a good disco record

https://youtu.be/-_4t8EUTfxQ

>>127436313
irony wasn't an established thing in pop culture yet so people could do retarded stuff like that and it was funny

>>127436877
In such fairness he'd had top 10 hits as recently as 1975 so he wasn't that far removed from current music trends

>>127436898
Well the point is that he pulled it off. Another one I feel like posting. Chic ft. Carly Simon. Not a big hit at the time but more appreciated years later.

https://youtu.be/Y7UfhtnA-Gg

>>127436756
>PBS docu came up with some silly construction that it was all redneck racists who didn't like trans black people's music or some shit like that.
That was revisionist SJW history, the reason for stuff like DDN was because it got so spammed to death by 1979 that people got burned out on the stuff.

>>127436933
The problem is music that was mainly supposed to be played in a club setting didn't work on Top 40 and became very annoying very fast.

>>127436842
Connie Francis even had a disco album but it wasn't released in the states so only Euros ever knew about that one.

>>127436944
radio playlists were very very ossified. you recall that AM was not free form anymore by the mid-70s it was already consolidated corporate playlists. the great age of 60s free form radio was long over.

>>127436933
>spammed to death
that happened to plenty of other flash-in-the-pan genres but there wasn't a mass chimpout over it. it may not have been the main focus but to say there wasn't a racial element to it is just being ignorant of historical context.

>>127437014
To all the rockfags who threw a fit over disco being overplayed in the late 70s, in all fairness it's not like most of the decade was not a rock singer-songwriter monoculture and you weren't bludgeoned to death with the stuff just as badly as the 50s bludgeoned listeners to death with pop jazz and harmonizing vocal groups.

>>127437041
Given that George Clinton also took swipes at disco every chance he got, we can safely dismiss that SJW talking point.

>>127437014
I think WMMR in Philadelphia had a less tight playlist than BCN by that point. They also discovered a lot of excellent artists a long time before most of the rest of the country.

But it was no longer the free-form format in either city. Free-form was an actual format that thrived in the late 1960s and a couple of years in the '70s where DJs with great taste and knowledge got to play whatever they wanted.

By the early '70s, including in Boston, that format had morphed into something else. The DJs still picked the songs they wanted to play and all that, but it was from a playlist compiled by a music director. That's something completely different.

There are airchecks on Youtube of free-form radio stations from NYC, San Francisco and LA and elsewhere in the 60s and it's very different from the Ford/Carter years by which time everything was an AOR rock monoculture.

>>127435256
the bee gees culture appropriated disco. so although for most casuals they became sort of the face of disco they really had nothing to do with disco. they were bandwagon jumpers and total frauds

My cousin was a lower middle class pissed off kid with anger issues back then so he got into punk and never could identify with either disco or mainstream rock.

>>127436842
there's an alternate universe where Teresa Brewer does a disco track instead of just the shitty jazz albums she was recording by that point and i'd rather not contemplate the thought of it

>>127435495
Inside Out. Actually it feels strange to see this listed as disco since back in 1980 it was considered a funk/R&B tune. Sort of surprised Edwards/Rodgers gave this to Diana Ross vs. using it for Chic.

ok

>>127436877
That's more R&B than disco, at least how it would be defined today

I don't think Nile in his prime was capable of making a bad track.

They literally wrote and played the music. Some of the best disco tracks of the era. What in your mind was fraudulent about that? This cultural appropriation nonsense needs to stop.

>>127436756
why is Cuckgau such a simpleton? he doesn't seem to relate to any lyrics but basic relationship drama, sex, and sometimes politics but even then a lot of the time he hates political content.

>>127438408
While disco revivals have come and gone in waves, it's reductionist to say modern dance music is all disco. Rock 'n' roll itself was dance music at one point.

>>127438768
What were the non-fraudulent artists doing before they were making Disco? The BeeGees became disco artists when they started to make it, just like everyone else. And the BeeGees improved Disco, they were simply better at it, which is why they were so successful.

rockists just can't handle when they're not the center of attention at all times

>>127438878
>The BeeGees became disco artists when they started to make it, just like everyone else.
wrong. Black artists made disco way before the bee gees. listen to barry white for example.
>And the BeeGees improved Disco
lol... yeah 3 white guys stealing the sound of marginalized groups and getting a big push from their record label = le good. the bee gees singing disco is similar to the whitewashing that went on in the early years of rock n roll

you gonna compare DeadMau5 or one of those hacks to Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough or Le Freak? come on.

Disco is fucking shit

The real problem is not seeing music as good music and bad music. Only treating some forms of music as good and legitimate leads to the elevation of garbage over worthwhile art.

We were too hard on pop music in favor of rock! Everyone is listening to Taylor Swift and rock is irrelevant now! It's time to stop pretending The Black Keys are making ground breaking incredible music and instead give inflated reviews to the new Taylor Swift album!

Shit music prevails either way.

Has anyone else noticed that ever since /pol/ became the dominant board aging cock rock aficionados aren't ashamed to post here? We need some sort of movement to drive these decrepit old fucks out.

What about the part where people weren't just bringing Disco records to DDN? People were also bringing Rythm n Blues records, Funk records, and anything else with a dance beat and a singer who had skin that was at least kind of brown.

>Even the artsy lib homos were sick of the decadence of 70s culture by the early 80s.
Disco lived on with the jock homos. It turned into circuit party house music.

You're old. The only time your favorite music even got close to making a comeback it was a meme ironic version of it (Steel Panther). The grunge comet came down and wiped out all the cock rock dinosaurs. It isn't just over. It has been over.

Kpop is fucking gay and people like you are fucking cringe calling everything old when you're a boring retard. Go get a life stop being terminally online jerking to pop whores

>prog/psychodelic are a thing
>people got tired of it and wanted to return to what music really is (the swing era)
>one side picked up Glam and the other picked up Disco
>Disco is very orquestral and this upsets the progfags. Disco is very sexy and this upsets rockfags. Disco simply did their gimmicks better
for a long time rockfags were hating disco and glam because it offended their masculinity (they were not masculime at all, they were nerds larping as machos)

>The US economy collapsed into recession in 79 which killed off the disco bubble and a lot of other 70s excesses.
The US simply took advantage of this.
Disco Riots were not different than the Zoot Suit Riots in that regard.

Disco WAS mostly bad.

And on account of the monoculture, was mostly inescapable.

Funny is that they have great records before the disco era. I heard an interview long ago where they kind of despised those years after Saturday Night Fever.

Even a cuck like Todd in the shadows knew disco was made mostly by and for lame white people .
