    There was was a panic around disco? Huh, TIL.

    I also don’t know the difference between hip-hop and rap. Separated them out to be on the safe side.

    I do know the difference between house and techno and get mildly annoyed when people use either of them as umbrella terms for dance music. It’d be fair for fans of hip-hop and rap to feel the same.

    In case you’re interested (and very simplified): Techno started in Detroit and was influenced by early German and French synthesiser music, plus the car factories.

    House started in Chicago and was influenced by soul, gospel and disco.
