The Death of Dance Music is a false Phophecy by those who can't dance

From time to time over the last 20 years I have seen many music writers proclaim the Death of Dance Music.

The Death of Dance Music has been predicted by one writer or another over the last 25 years and it always makes me laugh. Some of the same guys, (and gals) that were hitting the clubs in the 90’s, wearing their best Z-Cavaricci’s, Cham’s, Polo’s, Alexander Julian Shirts, Roots Shoes, Baby Doll Mini’s, Coach Bags, and “Jacked up” on enough Cocaine to stimulate the GNP of Bolivia, are now the same writers and “haters” that lost touch​

So I decided to pay tribute to forms of music that were popular at one time, that actually are dead. Really dead. But some can't let go of.

* Motown 1957-1975 (Surviving family members, Michael Jackson, Dianna Ross, Lionel Richie)
* Classic Rock 1969-1974 (They call it “Classic” for a reason. It ain’t coming back, and you don’t remember most of it anyway…”You were high!”)
* Disco 1973-1980 (maybe earlier, but where would Dance Music Today be without it)
* Good Rap 1982-1997 (Don’t get me started, just read my rant)
* Alternative 1983-1985 (You know, Thomas Dolby, Men Without Hats, Yaz, OMD….at least that’s what they were calling it back then)
* Grunge 1990-1994 (died with Curt Cobain, I think Bush is the only thriving survivor)
*Punk 1974-1984 (really 1982)
* Metal 1974-1980 (I have nothing here)
* Glam Rock 1987-1990 (You remember?-White Snake, White Lyon, Great White, Nelson, Ratt “Out of the Cellar”…and back in again)
* Funk 1969- ? (as long as George Clinton is Alive, Funk will never be dead, although we lost a lot when Rick James passed away…”Bitch!”)
* Speed Metal 1989
* Good Hip Hop 1990-1994 (Bell Biv Devoe, Wrecks in Effect, Red Head Kingpin, Soul 2 Soul, Tony, Toni, Tone, and the “New Jack” stuff)
* Boy Bands 1983-1997 (New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Boyz to Men, Menudo, N-Sync. God that lasted a long time! *Pukes a little in mouth*)
* Alternative Rock 1984-1994 (New Order, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys..although I am a big fan of this era, and it will never truly die to me, and the fact that they are still making music, just not much airplay in the states)
* Tibetan Chanting Haunting stuff: 1994-1995 (Enigma, Deep Forest, and a slew of “Monks”. I still listen to Deep Forest, it’s timeless to me, but there was a time every house wife had an Enigma CD in her car)

For those that say Dance is Dead, nobody told the top 100 Dj's that get $40k to show up all over the world.
