Disco is a genre of music that peaked in popularity in the late 1970s though it has since enjoyed brief resurgences including the present day. The term is derived from discothèque (French for library of phonograph records but subsequently used as proper name for nightclubs in Paris). Its initial audiences were club-goers from the African American gay Italian American Latino and psychedelic communities in New York City and Philadelphia during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
