After reading the article about disco, it surprised me to know that Disco first began in gay clubs. When I hear about disco music, the first thing I envision is people with shirts half-buttoned and wearing bell bottom pants with an afro, doing "Travolta's disco dance moves." After reading the rest of the article, it made much sense that since the gays couldn't find any bands that would play in their clubs, why not start making their own form of entertainment?
This new genre was often criticized by music critics or disliked by previous rock artists and musicians. However, it did not prevent them from succeeding and earning billions of dollars of money from the music industry. It eventually broaden its audience when Saturday Night Fever came out and everyone fell in love with disco.
