Category talk:Disco music genres

Um, so why do we have the phrase "post-disco" then? And Disco wasn't even the first music danced to in disco establishments, so why is it that disco is being treated as though it invented the wheel? Perhaps disco itself, using this method of categorization, is a genre of soul? And/or pop? The thought of "disco music genres" is an interesting one for discussion, but not for a page establishing the idea as an established fact in an encyclopedia, surely?

New Wave? What about the Ska Revival In The UK? Blondie's 60s influences? etc...

Early New Wave in the UK, particularly in the late 1970s, was heavily influenced by the 1960s music scene, including a ska revival, and by Punk. Disco music genres really does not compute. In designating things as "disco music genres" you are saying, basically, that they are forms of disco music. But "post disco" is "post-"! New Wave singer Blondie was known to have elements of 1960s "bubblegum pop" (remember Sunday Girl?). What you have written as a description of this genre appears to be your opinion, and in doing so you appear to negate other stylistic origins of the listed forms of popular music and focus only on disco. I love disco myself, but I really can't see hip hop being regarded as a newly styled genre of disco music, much as I recognize (and so does the Wiki article) disco's influence on hip hop (just as I recognize the influence of soul music on disco). I wonder if "dance music genres" might be more appropriate?

Strange Talk...

I'm not sure this makes sense at all - "legitimate children of disco"? That's weird prosy language!
