Disco Pop

Getting to party with our friends is fun and fulfilling because you get to shake your booty to the latest beats and tunes. However, that fun night will not be complete without the booty-shaking tunes that would actually make your booty shake. One genre of music that certainly makes this happen is known as disco pop. Disco pop music is strongly dance-oriented and was popularized by the American, African, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual people) and Hispanic communities in the United States in the late 1960s and through the '70's.

Disco is not just a typical music genre. It is considered to be a lifestyle - a "cult", or a mood. It is characterized by a sturdy rhythm, an energetic beat suggestive of the old Motown sound accompanied by high pitched vocals. It paved the way for new developments in the music industry such as the new wave music movement and various rock bands like XYZ, The Tubes and the Journey.

The era of disco pop music was dominated by several music artists. The Bee Gees were indeed a very famous group that popularized the disco movement in the 1970s. Other artists that made a mark in the disco pop era include Barry White and Donna Summers, bands like Abba, Village People, and Earth, Wind and Fire. These artists were famous for creating dance hits that set disco pop apart from other music genres and into its own universe of style, fashion, and night clubs.
