>demonstrating in mass against a music genre
Why are rockists so cringy?
>>62982871
I love the weird racial implciations of the whole thing too, just an all around stupid moment in history
It's just so easy to hate than to try
Well, it's not like they're wrong...
it was a racist and homophobic reaction by straight white men to popular music made and enjoyed by minorities and gay people
God man, the 70's were so fucking crazy
I wish I was addicted back then
face it OP, rock has outlived every single fad genre that payroll critics claimed would kill rock for the past 50 years
>>62982935
This song is better than all the boring pop-rock these people probably listened to

It was avant-teen false-flaggers creating a scene to one day tell their wife's sons about.
But disco is not good
>people called those people Racist
>>62982989
And disco morphed into all the genres that still dwarf rock in popular appeal
>>62982991
You could have at least posted good disco.
>>62982941
Stop. This needs to stop.
>>62982989
But hip hop already killed rock
>>62983008
neither was the shitty rock these people paraded as "good taste"
>>62983024
Considering that rock had morphed into what you call disco but still also continued intact alongside the new genre that's kind of a moot point.
>>62983041
Dawg, Bee Gees get your ass movin, but you right, I just linked the first thing off the top of my head
>>62983008
>>62983052
They were just mad that disco was about people of all races and sexualities coming together and having a good time, and not rock songs about sexually frustrated teenage white boys.
>driving from chicago to mexico and then all over mexico with parents as a child
>all they brought with them were disco casettes
>>62983052
True.
But I seriously hope that this happens to rap
>>62983087
Yah but the kind of "rock" these people were defending was the nostalgia driven return to classic rock, which ended up dying out in the pop sphere
>SJWs making everything about racism/sexism
nah fuck off
Anyway yeah it's pretty cringey what they did. Le wrong generation at its peak. It's no different than today's kids talking about how much they hate Bieber and Nicki Minaj. They'd probably do some shit like this too.

Are there any other disco tracks of equal quality to this, or is this as good as it gets?
>mfw listening to it 10 times in a row
>>62983116
Lol, rap is better than whatever edgy "done to death" avant-garde albums you love
>>62982989
>>62983008
The quality of disco isn't the point, it's that several hundred people almost set a baseball stadium on fire just to show how much they hated a genre of music. It's ridiculous, even in historical and cultural context.
>>62983116
Rap's had it's time. I give it 4-5 more years of being king before rock takes over again.
>>62983155

Just because the signs didn't say "we hate black people" doesn't mean that isn't a part of it, no one is claiming everyone there was racist, but it is still a bunch of white people burning a bunch of black peoples music
>>62983198
Rock is never coming back to the top of the charts, trust me.
>>62983101
>>62983101
>>62983101
Maybe in part, but it seems like it was mostly rock fans having a kneejerk reaction to a different genre muscling in on their turf. Hard as it is to believe, white men aren't Gargamel scowling from his tower and plotting the downfall of those peace-loving Smurfs, just the same easily scared idiots as everyone else.
>>62983309
Well yah, but that what's gives it that subtext, sometimes absent mindely doing something is worse than explicitly doing something. It was shitty for a ton of other reasons, but that's kinda how it looks historically, expecially because it's timing in relation to racial movements.

Its just banter faggot. Can you handle it??
Italo disco is literally the best genre of music there is and I will fucking throw down about it

Coldplay was upstaged by two black pop artists, one of which was performing a funk/disco song.
Also

Bruno Mars isn't black.
>>62983739
Fuck how did I make that mistake
Well you know what I mean
>>62983739
TIL i guess
His father is of half Puerto Rican and half Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and is originally from Brooklyn, New York. Mars' mother emigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii as a child, and was of Filipino, and some Spanish, ancestry.
>>62983155
are there any truly great albums or is it a singles genre?
i heard this song on the old school station on the radio and i thought i twas flying lotus based on the intro

>>62983504
don't be retarded, you can even post a picture of a band that'll be relevant in 5 years. Rock is not likely to come back, just look a the top charts right now or name any new rock band that's doing great sales.

Giorgio Moroder - From Here to Eternity
Plus two of the Donna Summer albums he produced, Love to Love You Baby and I Remember Yesterday are at least musically interesting. Pretty much the start of EDM.

>>62983903
at least it keeps trendy shits off your favorite music
>>62983631
i'm still confused why everyone ripped on coldplay for that show? because they're so "white"? their performance wasn't any better or worse than other mainstream pop acts that have played the superbowl
The first hip hop record is also a great disco/dance track.

I didn't dislike their performance. They probably just seemed blander compared to Beyoncé and Bruno.

disco is literally the closest to Classical music of all original recorded music of the last 50 years...
also, it definitely had racial and homophobic connotations to take this stance, but that wasn't ALL it was. Most people just genuinely liked rock guitars/were behind the times. I'm from a pretty redneck part of Canada, and my friend's Dad told me he jumped onto the disco ship almost immediately because that's where all the chicks were... makes sense to me.

gr8 disco tracks

>>62983101
Maybe, you also have to remember a lot of shallow bullshit plastic bs came out of the disco era as well.
>>62984767
that's true of every genre that's hit the mainstream ever
>>62983042
Just the fuck up kid. Go back to your horse.

What did Rivers mean by this?
>>62984249
the fact a person can go from so incredibly bait to so incredibly correct within a small post like that is seriously disconcerting
Where can I find more disco/Italo-disco like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj9ZWjBlFew
Disco is nothing without the right DJ honestly.Tracks played on are all right and good, but they only really take proper shape sampled, mixed, and modified by the legends of the period. There's also the venue, if the sound system and people are shit than nothing can fix your experience.
Look up Larry Levan and Paradise Garage if you're interested in the traits of the perfect DJ/venue/soundsystem.
>>62982935
>doesn't like disco
rockists are adult babbys
if i were alive in the 70s i prob woulda gone to some clubs for disco the coke was hella tight and the girls way hotter than girls you'd see at a metal show smdh
I honestly don't get people who don't enjoy Disco, it's one of the funnest and most satisfying genres of music.
>using the word "rockism" and calling other people cringey
>>62985303
Because rockists don't simply dislike a genre, they have to be principally and indignantly opposed to it.
>>62984249
>disco is literally the closest to Classical music of all original recorded music of the last 50 years...
Stupid and wrong opinion. It's just dance music, there's no real harmonic development or anything going on. Ironically the closest modern music to classical is the noisy shit you'd least expect being anything like classical because of the timbral complexities.
whenever somebody types rockism I instantly imagine they have a septum piercing and just got into vaporwave and A E S T H E T I C stuff like last week
>>62985433
OP here, I just happen to use a word describing a very real and annoying mindset among a certain type of music fans.
>>62985433
desu it just seems like the best single word/phrase to describe those kinds of asshats who ONLY like OLD rock music and take this weird, autistic, passionate opposition to literally anything other than hard rock and white guy "blues"
>>62983042
But that's kinda right tho
He's not being "SJW" when he says that, it was a legitimate tension between fanbases and people
disco is awesome
I think imo its was a combination of alot musical genre up to that point you have r&b, soul,funk, classical, latin, electronic, and some others i'm forgetting but Disco was great
