Etymology
From post- + disco.
Meanings
-
(uncountable) A genre of dance music formulated in the late 1970s, after a backlash against disco.
Not many artists could pull off such a variety of styles (funk, post-disco, rock, easy listening, ballads) back then.
a. 2008, M. Heyliger, A State-of-the-Art Pop Album:Bridging the so-called death of disco and the birth of house, all this early-to-mid-'80s music lacks a name beyond drably functional and neutral terms like "dance" or "club music." Post-disco is better because this was music created by and for people […]who refused to accept the official decree of disco’s demise.
