Eurodisco is a genre of dance music that emerged in the late 1970s and became popular in the 1980s, particularly in Europe. It combines elements of disco, pop, and electronic music, characterized by catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms, and synthesizer-driven sounds. Artists like Boney M. and ABBA were influential in shaping this style, which often features a strong bassline and repetitive hooks. The genre is known for its vibrant and energetic sound, making it a staple in nightclubs and dance parties. Eurodisco also played a significant role in the development of Eurodance and Italo disco, further influencing the evolution of electronic dance music in the following decades.
