Post-disco is a genre of electronically progressive rhythm and blues music formulated in the late 1970s but is more commonly used as a term to describe an aftermath in popular music history c. 1979–1986, imprecisely beginning with an unprecedented backlash against disco music in the United States, leading to civil unrest and a riot in Chicago known as the Disco Demolition Night on July 12, 1979, and indistinctly ending with the mainstream appearance of house music in the late 1980s.〔Reynolds, Simon (2009) ''(Grunge's Long Shadow )'' - In praise of "in-between" periods in pop history (Slate, MUSIC BOX). Retrieved on 2-2-2009"〕 Disco during its dying stage displayed an increasingly electronic character that soon served as a stepping stone to new wave, hip-hop, euro disco, and was succeeded by an underground club music called hi-NRG, which was its direct continuation. An underground movement of disco music, "stripped-down," and featuring "radically different sounds"〔 took place on the East Coast that "was neither disco and neither R&B,"〔Kellman, Andy.

Developed from the rhythm and blues sound as perfected by Parliament-Funkadelic,〔 the electronic side of disco, dub music techniques, and other genres. Post-disco was typified by New York City music groups like "D" Train〔 and Unlimited Touch〔 who followed a more urban approach while others, like Material〔(Material ). ''Rovi Corporation''.

Post-disco was, like disco, singles-driven market〔 controlled mostly by independent record companies that generated a cross-over chart success all through the early-to-mid eighties decade. Most creative control was in the hands of record producers and club DJs〔 which was a trend that outlived the dance-pop era. Other musical styles that emerged in the post-disco include dance-pop,〔(Slant Magazine ) | Music | 100 Greatest Dance Songs. Retrieved on 2-2-2009〕〔Smay, David & Cooper, Kim (2001).

Darryl Payne arguing about the minimal approach of post-disco The main force in post-disco was mainly the 12" single format and short-lived collaborations (many of them one-hit wonders) while indie record producers were instrumental in the musical direction of what the scene was headed to. The music that mostly catered to dance and urban audiences later managed to influence more popular and mainstream acts like Madonna, New Order or Pet Shop Boys.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Post-disco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
