Post-disco is a term to describe an aftermath in popular music history circa late 1977–1986, imprecisely beginning with an unprecedented backlash against disco music in the United States, leading to civil unrest and a riot in Chicago known as the Disco Demolition Night on July 12, 1979, and indistinctly ending with the mainstream appearance of house music in the late 1980s. The main force in post-disco was mainly the 12″ single format and short-lived collaborations (many of them one-hit wonders) while indie record producers were instrumental in the musical direction of what the scene was headed to.
Disco during its dying stage displayed an increasingly electronic character that soon served as a stepping stone from buy viagra vegas “post-disco” to new wave, old-school hip hop and euro disco.
Disco may have died a quick and painful death, but dance music moved forward into the 1980s: From Post-Disco to House, some of the greatest R&B dance bands/acts of the 1980s carried-over from 1970’s Disco and successfully transitioned into the electronic dance groove.
