Which year: guess which year each photo was taken

I just went by feel of each and got 2.4 year average, also top 2%. I guess it doesn't do higher than top 2% then.

> obviously towards the end of disco

What is the end of disco?

I presume OP meant towards the end of the disco era.

Disco is probably the only genre whose "death" (as in very quick drop from being mainstream) can be traced to a very specific date: July 12th, 1979.

Interesting. Can we organize an event to blow up reggaeton records (or trap, or latin urban, or whatever they call it now - sounds all similar to me) and hope for it to go away?

Personally, I'd prefer for a young white male demographic to not riot against music primarily associated with certain marginalised communities anymore.

I'm not sure why that would mean it doesn't go higher than top 2%, it would only imply the scores you ended up with were in the same percentage bracket.

Confirming this, it looks like you indeed get top 0% when you end on a perfect score of 5000 with an average of 0 years off.

The person you’re responding to is an autistic wheelchair-bound lesbian woman living in Ghana.

What now?

Personally, I’d prefer internet commenters argue in good faith instead of emotionally parroting 2010s social justice identity jargon. You could have responded with something op was missing about said music (interesting history, examples of artists innovating there, etc) instead and added some value to the thread.

I'd be suprised if an autistic wheelchair-bound lesbian woman living in Ghana would either confuse reggaeton with trap or be overly bothered by a local excess of either sufficient to want to detonate and destroy any physical media given much of it would be immortalised as digital patterns in the cloud.

I can respond with music from women in

* Nigeria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvY31eN3gtE

* Zambia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2lvgKDpiSA

* Australia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLQ4by3lUJo

* The Gambia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtmmlOQnTXM

and suggest there's some interesting cross cultural threading in all these examples.

What a sane and normal response! Did I not already share some interesting history? Aren't you directly replying to that?

But okay, here's another one: that same queer and black community from Chicago that definitely didn't feel great about ~50k white men burning their records developed a new (now super popular) genre on top of the ashes of disco (both metaphorically and literallly).

Its name is a reference to a nightclub in Chicago called The Warehouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warehouse_(nightclub)), which was frequented primarily by gay black men in the early 1980s. People all over Chicago were looking for the type of music that was playing in the Warehouse, hence the name: 'house music. So, not only was that day in Chicago fundamental to the death of disco, but it was also fundamental to the birth of house music. The more you know!

I'm from Spain and here that music is pretty much everywhere you go. Not associated with any specific community at all.
