For the Digital Scavenger Hunt assignment, we are to search for the earliest references to a musical term such as salsa, jazz, mambo, hip hop, etc. I  chose to search for the genre of “Disco.” On the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it shows that disco started to increase around 1975. This corresponds to a search in Google books where the earliest search result for disco is in 1978. It is sheet music from Edgar Schlepper. It is said in an article about early disco that a lot of American disco was influenced by German music. Kurt Reighley states that “Germany exerted considerable influence on American disco, via the contributions of Giorgio Morodor, Kraftwerk, et al.” Disco was not received well by many. Anti-disco campaigns were started against the genre. An article from 1979 stated complaints about its “rhythmic repetition” and “nonmelodic monotony.” Disco was associated with African Americans, so many white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and White Citizens Council passed out pamphlets saying that disco was wrong and should not be listened to. People in the black community also held grudges against disco because they felt that it was monopolizing the radio, preventing other black artists from getting recognized. Lastly, many people of “new wave” music thought that disco was a “perversion of black music,” so disco was not well received by many groups of people.
