It didn't take longer than a decade for this style to match the level of popularity of as those of old disco days.Your grandma getting down on the floor and dancing to disco can never be ereased.

  1. It is interesting how popular electro has become recently. Really never thought it'd become so popular. Go back in time and ask me 3 years ago and I would tell you electro will never garner any mainstream acceptance, especially in America, a nation that groups any electronic sound into the "for fags" category. How wrong was I?
