My Google-fu FAILED. <br />:(<br /><br />I think the idea of a "disco backlash" may be a little simplistic...<br /><br />I know that my mother (who was born in 1959, so was in her teens at the height of disco) freaks the fuck out if you give disco any legitimacy; ie, "I dunno, 'Fernando' is an enjoyable song", which can be seen as part of a backlash, but is probably a little more complicated than that, especially since she lived in a rural area and disco was more of an identifier of conformity/privilege/superficialitythan anything else.<br /><br />The concept of an anti-gay/anti-black/anti-female backlash tends to ring pretty fucking untrue to me. When disco became mainstream, most people's understanding of it was through the BeeGees and Saturday Night Fever. But, obviously, I didn't live through it, and my knowledge of musical history during that time is pretty much restricted to punk and post-punk.<br /><br />Aaaaand I may be stepping on your post again...I look forward to reading it. :)TruculentandUnreliablehttp://www.operationacoustickitty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-9039054359941707852011-04-03T05:43:15.994-04:002011-04-03T05:43:15.994-04:00I'm just bustin' 'em.

Punk and disco came in...Imma have to beg to differ. Punk and disco came in to popularity pretty much simultaneously. Disco was a purely American creation in its early days, but punk was a product of cultures both in the UK and the US. <br /><br />If anything, punk was a backlash against evolving hard rock wankery and super-accessible, bland ass shit that dominated the radios in the early 70s.<br /><br />It was also an outgrowth from (in the UK, mostly) the mod and skinhead subcultures, along with influences from glam rock (and, in the Clash's case, reggae/ska/rocksteady).<br /><br />I find it interesting, actually, that the two genres sort of grew up together (although took completely different trajectories), because both genres were products of people who were outside of the mainstream. In the case of disco, it was gays and blacks, and in the case of punk, it was the white working class.<br /><br />And really, if you trace back some of the roots of punk (specifically, skinheads and mods), there's a lot of black (American and Jamaican) influence in those subcultures, too. Mods were all about ska and R&B and skinhead culture was based significantly in the rudeboy subculture. (Which makes the National Front's exploitation of the skinhead subculture in the early 80s that much more sickening).TruculentandUnreliablehttp://www.operationacoustickitty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-64162664298076524542011-04-01T17:21:16.753-04:002011-04-01T17:21:16.753-04:00I love disco.I love disco.Dr.KennethNoisewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756205027083077404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-86896327855430998752011-04-01T13:36:06.197-04:002011-04-01T13:36:06.197-04:00Hey, hey, hey.
