OK, sensible reply then - I think the answer lies within any genre being diluted. The early disco stuff was great music but once it catches on, the bar is somewhat lowered and acts of a substandard nature kick in - this is why a genre sucks. I remember in rock circles the debut Guns 'N' Roses album coming out in 1987 and it was fresh and exciting. By the time Nirvana came along we had 1000s of clone bands who were mostly awful so Nirvana broke through. Same with Britpop, any genre. I guess this is why Disco sucked even though a lot of it was actually very good.

+1....I hate the term/cliche/tag [i][b]'Disco'[/b][/i], makes me cringe, it seems to cover anything from the late 60's/early 70's stuff by say O'Jays, Trammps etc which to me was simply a fair tag for decent danceable Soul, R&B (proper R&B not modern application of the term) popular in the mainly underground gay clubs, to seemingly anything in the 70's with a bass/snare 4/4 beat....FFS I've even seen ELO, Bowie, Stones, The Wombles, Nolans and that 'We got a great big convoy' stuff labled as [i][b]'Disco'[/b][/i]...its all simply pop 'n rock ain't it?
....& as I often say, life's too short for cliches...
