It's a funny novelty song mostly because of the hate it inspired.

Jake Paul haters are just jealous people who channel it into hatred instead of having some perspective, the dude is 20yo, famous, rich, and partying it up. Good for him, I would probably be doing the same at that age in his position.

Why does disco get such a bad rap? Anonymous 2017-07-27 11:58:46 Post No. 74195720 [Report] [View this topic]

It seems even today disco is seen as something of a dirty word for those who like to claim that the 70s, particularly from 1974 onwards sucked for music (those who clearly haven't taken the trouble to dig deep to find the dozens if not hundreds of great albums that this era had to offer us in all sorts of genres, not to mention many by black artists that had little or nothing to do with disco music).

I don't understand this. I could see why people dislike genres like punk, rap, metal, or even prog, but disco was hugely popular and beloved worldwide for a reason; it blended the best elements of Motown, soul, and funk from the 60s-70s along with other elements like Latin, classical, reggae, and blues. Most importantly, it was a huge pioneer in mapping out so many of the paths of music that would occur from the late 1970s onwards - it had a big influence on so many of the greatest popular artists, producing some great stuff from a whole range of musicians such as David Bowie, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Abba, the Bee Gees and ironically later punk/post-punk acts like Talking Heads, Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd etc, and was the genre which established the roles of producer and DJ as having just as equal if not more prominence as the singer, performer and songwriter, a very important facet of later styles such as hip hop (which sampled a lot of disco in its formative years), electronica, turntablism, to name but a few.

It's been suggested that rawk fans couldn't deal with some other genre taking over the airwaves from them. And of course contrary to revisionist history, disco didn't die out in 1980, it evolved into new forms of dance music.

Well I think I've rambled on long enough, so to wrap it up, whether you like/dislike disco, what are your thoughts on this?

Overexposure.

While there were unheard from small groups listening to the likes of Pink Floyd, and AC/DC, It was ALL disco as far as the media , and pop culture was concerned. This pop culture in the 70s went like this:

Kiss > Kiss > Disco > Fleetwood Mac > Disco > Disco

You had your disco music, disco clubs, disco dancing, disco ducks, silk disco shirts, disco, disco, disco! On TV shows everyone from "CHiPS" to Buck Rodgers were disco dancing. Even the rock guys started doing disco.

For those that didn't care for it it was just too much. The whole end of decade was being defined by it. Just no comparison to dance music of today.

As much as I love disco, there were a number of bad and cheesy disco records.

Hey /mu/, recently broke up with my gf and it's been a bit rough. I pretty much haven't listened to music actively for my entire life, and I know very little about it. There are a few songs I know I like such as:

For What It's Worth:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY

We just disagree:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmdaa1QX6TU

All I Have To Do Is Dream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbU3zdAgiX8&index=8&list=PLokWpQgtvhPh4wxlM-seHCRPKeXGXcISP

I essentially mellower music with a nice melody. If you guys can help me gather some songs I might like, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi anon if you're in breakup mode still try the xx: xx

It'd love songs and stuff but they're all bittersweet and melancholic and soft introspective bedroom rock I hope you enjoy.

I really like xx, their first album. As the title suggests, it's very relationship / relationship troubles based.

I don't like their second album, coexist, but my friend does

Theirnhird is more upbeat and dances so I don't think you'd like. I hope you have a nice night anon

How can such a small country have so much musical talent?
Bossa Nova, Choro, MPB, Villa-Lobos etc...
