Guides readers through dance-punk, a sub-genre of post-punk, drawing from the historical and cultural conditions surrounding the genre in the 1970s and early 1980s, and then again in the early 2000s.
Beginning in the late 1970s as an offshoot of disco and punk, dance-punk is difficult to define. Also sometimes referred to as disco-punk and funk-punk, it skirts, overlaps, and blurs into other genres including post-punk, post-disco, new wave, mutant disco, and synthpop.
Dance-Punk explores the historical and cultural conditions of the genre as it appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s and then again in the early 2000s. It illuminates what is at stake in delineating dance-punk as a genre. Looking at bands such as Gang of Four, ESG, Public Image Ltd., LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and Le Tigre, this book examines the tensions between and blurring of the rhetoric and emotion in dance music and the cynical and ironic intellectualizing associated with post-punk.
