The anti-disco backlash was very much a response from mainstream rock radio (and general racism/homophobia), not the punks. The infamous "Disco Sucks" rally(/riot) was organized by a rock station DJ who was pissed that his station had changed format to disco/soul, IIRC. Friggin' Blondie put out a straight-up disco *banger* for crying out loud.

Great video! I used to host a radio show featuring these bands and even managed/directed vids for a few dance punk bands so this was a great trip down memory lane.

Honestly the indietronic and 2000s dance punk phases are so great, that I see them in other current projects resurging - Porter Robinsons new project direction and this new act that popped up end of last year called "Master Peace" that's channeling a lot of Franz Ferdinand and bloc party energy. Also how come this didn't even include the terms "electroclash", "sleaze" or "blog house"

I distinctly remember Kele Okereke of Bloc Party saying that they had never heard any Gang of Four until they started being compared to them back in the day

the Dischord Records era of dance-punk was the best

The thing is there were always a lot of cross-pollination since punk came out with disco, hip-hop and early electronic music. Proto house and techno DJs in New York, Chicago and Detroit played postpunk tracks but as soon as the scenes got any traction outside of their original spaces, the new fans wanted to focus on the core of their favored genres, but plenty of people involved still kept open ears and being influenced by genres, even if many fans were unaware

So much amazing music from so many decades in a single video. I love it! Great essay!

I drum in a Dance-Punk band from Wales, UK! What a scene! So excited to be a part of the journey with @bagofcatsuk it's a really fun time to be in dance-punk!

FOALS MENTIONED 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

JUSTICE MENTIONED RAAAGHHHH

GREAT, overdue vid! If I may add: some often overlooked bands that weigh heavily on dance punk sensibilities include "Dartz!", "XTC", "Cut Off Your Hands", "The Virgins", "Cut Copy", & "Moving Units". The early to mid 2000s was a golden era for many of these!

Loved that quick Women reference! Such a great band. Amazing video by you guys as always.

If you like dance punk, check out Kid Kapichi! British, post-brexit, lefty punk rock. Saw them live twice now, they're good!

So so Happy they're gaining some recognition. They are my favourite band since I saw them open for Nothing But Thieves. Sadly I still didn't manage to see them on their own

Yard Act are the best! Especially their guitarist, he's one of the best guitarists of the last decade. Not to mention James' lyrics

Saw Genesis Owusu live and this man has some amazing work under his belt. Stoked at the mention!

Beth Ditto and the band Gossip definitely deserve a honorable mention!!!
