10. Hip hop

The death of disco in the late 70s was the result of a growing displeasure by musicians and rock fans; slogans like "disco sucks" brought with it campaigns and even a record burning rally, known as Disco Demolition Night, at Comiskey Park, Chicago in 1979 (Lawrence, 2011). A riot ensued and the baseball game that was due to be played after the rally had to be forfeited. But that didn’t stop those victimised from garnering further success from disco to continue their careers from the genre’s offshoots. Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall, released in the same year as the Disco Demolition Night, contained disco elements as well as R&B, funk, soul and pop and went on to sell more than 20 million albums. But possibly the biggest movement to come out of disco’s demise was electro, which later became infused with music and culture from the black and Latin communities of America to form hip hop
