I am a bro who ‘found out about disco’ after I heard bloghouse, so it’s gonna take me a while to understand ‘where it all came from.’ Even though I have heard that it ‘used 2 b around in the 70s’, I am still convinced that authentic disco is a new genre that has nothing to do with old disco.
I found this ‘clifnotes doodle’ of where disco came from. Does n e 1 know if this is the accurate history of disk0?
[Meaningful meme made by Manuel Buerger]
Did yall know that Chromeo was disk0?
CAN SOME1 PLZ TELL ME THE HISTORY OF DISCO?
I THOUGHT JAMES MURPHY INVENTED IT.

actually Giorgio Moroder single handed created disco.. Gang of Four created disco punk, The Rapture revived disco punk, then bands like bloc party and etc. ripped off them.

Not that wikipedia is the be all and end all, but it usually points us in the right direction….
Disco is a genre of dance-oriented music that originated in African American, American gay and Hispanic American communities in 1970s. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco)
Also….predecessors and shapers of disco:
Love’s Theme by Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra – (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love%27s_Theme)
Billy Paul’s cover of Your Song by Elton John
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfJeX4dlGqE)
Tom Moulton and Gloria Gaynor
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Moulton)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Gaynor)
Oh yeah, who was singing Giorgio Moroder’s songs….?
Donna Summer
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_summer)
Snap this hipster argument is SOOOO authentic!!!!

One time GregGillisTalk came to my college and smoked a bowl of schwagg outside my apartment. A festival bro was asking him about Bonnaroo and The Flaming Lips, and Greg was all like “Yay Flaming Lips!”
Conversely, when Of Montreal came, they left coke on everything.
