Disco

Disco is an upbeat, dance-oriented genre that emerged in the late 1960s and peaked in the 1970s, defined by a "four-on-the-floor" beat, syncopated basslines, and lush orchestration. Originating in urban nightlife, it blends funk, soul, and pop, featuring strings, horns, and electric pianos. Key artists include Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, and the Bee Gees.
