It's astounding that this exact scenario happened at least four times

There was was a panic around disco? Huh, TIL.

I also don’t know the difference between hip-hop and rap. Separated them out to be on the safe side.

I do know the difference between house and techno and get mildly annoyed when people use either of them as umbrella terms for dance music. It’d be fair for fans of hip-hop and rap to feel the same.

In case you’re interested (and very simplified): Techno started in Detroit and was influenced by early German and French synthesiser music, plus the car factories.

House started in Chicago and was influenced by soul, gospel and disco.

    Oh, yeah, it was a big thing that we in the modern day often don't think about. Disco's meteoric rise and fall was in part due to overexposure, but also due to a backlash from its strong associations with the Black, LGBT, and immigrant communities.
