Disco
The 1970s saw the rise of another form of
pop music known as “disco.” Disco music
pertained to rock music that was more
danceable, thus leading to the
establishment of venues for public dancing
also called discos. The term originated from
the French word “discotheque” which
means a library for phonograph records.
The disco style had a soaring and reverberating sound
rhythmically controlled by a steady beat for ease of
dancing and accompanied by strings, horns, electric
guitars, and electric pianos or synthesizers.
Superstars of the disco genre include. The Bee Gees;
ABBA, Donna Summer (“The Queen of Disco”);
Earth, Wind, and Fire; KC and the Sunshine Band; The
Village People; and Gloria Gaynor, bringing us such hits
as Dancing Queen, Stayin’ Alive, Boogie Wonderland,
and Hot Stuff.
Pop Music
Like the disco era, other pop music
superstars continued to emerge including
pop superstars like Celine Dion, Madonna,
Michael Jackson (The King of Pop) and
today's pop music idols, such as Boyzone,
Westlife, Black Eyed Peas, K-pop groups,
etc.
Other pop music superstars continued to
emerge. Among them were Neil Sedaka
(Laughter in the Rain), Diana Ross and the
Supremes (Stop in the Name of Love),
Olivia Newton John (Hopelessly Devoted to
You), Stevie Wonder (You Are the Sunshine
of My Life), Elton John (Skyline Pigeon), The
Carpenters (We’ve Only Just Begun), and
Barry Manilow (Mandy).
Hip Hop and Rap

The musical style is a highly rhythmic type of


music that usually includes rap (rhythmic chanted
words). In rapping, the artist performs along within
the instruments, or the synthesizer beat.
Hip hop arose in the 1970s within the Afro-American
and Latino youth in the Bronx area of New York City. But
by the 1980s, it had spread to many other countries. It
has since evolved into a subculture that encompasses
music (rapping, DJing, scratching, and beatboxing); a
nearly acrobatic style of dancing, called break dancing;
a distinct manner of dress; and graffiti-style artwork.
Among the early hip hop artists were LL Cool J and
Run-D.M.C. While more recent popular names in this
genre have been Beastie Boys, Eminem, and Kanye
West.
ALTERNATIVE MUSIC
Alternative music was an underground independent
form of music that arose in the 1980’s. It became widely
popular in the 1990’s as a way to defy “mainstream”
rock music. Thus, it was known for its unconventional
practices such as distorted guitar sounds, oppressive
lyrics, and defiant attitudes.
It was also characterized by high energy
levels that bred new styles such as new
wave, punk rock, post-punk, indie rock, gothic
rock, jangle pop, noise pop, C86,
Madchester, Industrial Rock, and
Shoegazing. Examples of alternative music
are You Belong with Me, Shake It Off.
