Disco became popular in the 1970s New York City. Much like every other genre of music, it originated from urban culture. The genre sold sex, dancing, and drug use. The bump and the hustle are two very popular dances that derived from Disco. This genre of music is very notable because it became legal for people of the same sex to dance with each other. Not only that but it also gave Latinos, African Americans, and Gays a chance to come up in the music industry and express themselves.
