We called it 'hick hop,' back then.

Today's yutes have no sense of history. They think the 1950 was the decade of Jim Crow laws. Lincoln was president in the 40s and George Washington discovered America back in the turn of the 20th century.
I hope I'm around to see those idjuts freak when America celebrates its 250th birthday. I might make it. I'd be celebrating #74.

I'd say Disco is about the same age....1973 seems to be about right

Add a few years for disco, at least when it became popular.

started in night clubs in NYC, gay bars iirc. Saturday Night Fever made it very popular to the masses, around 1977. Ugh. Disco Sucks btw.

Disco is great

if you really like to dance ... or boogie, in a disco. I never had any desire to dance, at all (even though I did, some, because I realized I was expected to). Never once thought, "I was born to boogie, and I can't wait to shake my bootie tonight!". Couple that with the fact that I loved rock and roll, and disco music had little to satisfy this rock fan's soul, I never liked disco. Having said that, I have a lot of great memories tied to disco songs.

I hated disco in its heyday of popularity but once I really started playing

music in earnest, I started to listen to the individual parts of those songs as well as the overall production. These days, there are a lot of tunes that were big disco hits that I truly appreciate as a musician. And quite obviously, a lot of other musicians that I respect must feel the same because I've seen a lot of very cool covers of 70s-era disco songs. I think I've always had the broadest appreciation of various genres of music than almost anyone I know, and it just keeps on expanding to be quite honest. I can find a gem in just about any style of music. Sometimes, the fun is in the search.
Music is subjective and you like what you like. The only hard and fast rule of music appreciation that I demand of anyone is to hate cootie and the blowfish vehemently because they do in fact suck, and are deserving of all the derision of every person on this humble planet we call Earth.

Saturday Night Fever was probably the peak of the Disco Era in '77-78.
It died a painful but rightful death in the early '80's (Thanks "Disco Demolition Night" and MTV)
On the Billboard charts, a number of songs that could arguably be classified as disco emerged as hits in the early 1970s. 1973 became a keystone year in disco’s popular success due to two particular releases. “Love’s Theme” was an instrumental composed by Barry White. It was first put on wax that July by White’s female back-up trio, Love Unlimited, on their album Under the Influence of … Love Unlimited. White also included the song on Rhapsody in White, an album by his 40-piece The Love Unlimited Orchestra, which would see release the following year. White put out “Love’s Theme” as the lead single for the record in November 1973. One month later, The Hues Corporation released their debut album, Freedom for the Stallion, which included “Rock the Boat.” Both songs from the winter of 1973 would reach No. 1 in 1974, signaling the mainstream beginning of the Disco Age.

from memory, it just did not seem widespread until later. There were a few songs, but Disco took over at one point and that was not 1974.
I blame it on the Beegees.

I don't recall hearing any rap or hip-hop until late '70s either but they are claiming 1973 as its "birth year" also.
I was into the Pistols, Ramones, Clash, etc by the mid-late 70's. And metal like Sabbath, Lizzy, Nugent. And the new awesome genre of Southern Rock - Skynryd, Blackfoot, Allmans. So the Disco-Rap-Hiphop stuff never really entered my musical universe. I DID get into the heavy funk though - Parliment, EW&F, Gap Band, Rick James, etc.
And Mother's Finest kind of married the rock, funk, and metal all together.
When you look at it, a BUNCH of musical genres were "invented" or reached national popularity, in the 1970's.

Donna Summer was pretty big too. I don't hate disco, I was a preteens and it helped me to have a wide range of musical taste. Remember having KISS posters, Farrah Fawcett, Star Wars and the BeeGees.
Of course, my father liked Wayne Newton, The Mills Brothers, Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold and the Statler Brothers. Mix that in with my love of the Hair metal and Reggae, all of it fits in my portfolio
