Why doesn't Disco music get props for being the mother of House music?

[SPOT]

Simple answer. Disco was "black music".

Disco and 80's high energy music both played a big part......

I've always been curious about that.

It's CLEAR that House Music was spawned off of Disco. A lot of the late Disco songs was practically House Music.

Sheeeeet....we always loved house out here. Just had to battle with hip hop, reggae and others.

There's always an argument whether House started in NY or Chicago.

The Philly sound was the main catalyst though....

It does.... I thought everyone knew this

But it seems like it's rarely talked about since Disco was so hated.

I mean, house music and all the off-springs were very hated at one point too

I dont consider house music disco, even tho it has some disco roots. it just doesn't seem as "corny" if u know what I mean.

Real house music does pay homage. I've never heard anyone say or do otherwise.

Mainstream media only likes to talk about Disco when they want to diss it and discredit its influence. It helped spawn house and hip hop music.

Funk helped along with breaks from many genres spawn Hip Hop music. Somes cats and especially labels like Sugar Hill and Enjoy just rode the disco wave in the late 70s.

It's really annoying how Disco is so musically unappreciated. The Disco backlash in the late 70's was no doubt racial by the accounts I've read.

But I'll be damned if the SCORES they put together back then wasn't genius.

Bee Gees - More Than A Woman (With Lyrics) - YouTube

The backlash from the "Rock" crowd was definitely racial but the mainstream media back then for the most part propped up Disco and had quite a few self respecting soul/funk/r&b acts selling out making a disco record or 2.

Funk is the one that is so musically unappreciated because it's not a watered down genre like Disco was.
