Eurodisco (also spelled as Euro disco or Euro-disco) is a music genre of electronic music that evolved from disco in the middle 1970s,[13] incorporating elements of europop and rock in a purely electronic and futuristic sound.[14] The genre emerged when European producers and musicians, especially Giorgio Moroder, Marc Cerrone and Frank Farian, adapted American disco music by incorporating European pop influences and recent new musical technologies, such as synthesizers and electronic drums.

Many Eurodisco compositions feature lyrics sung in English, although the singers often share a different mother tongue. Eurodisco derivatives generally include Disco polo and Eurodance, with the most prominent sub-genres being space disco of the late 1970s and Italo disco of the early 1980s. The genre declined in popularity after 1990 in preference to house and eurodance.

Eurorecords had to have immediate cross-national appeal, musical simplicity was of the essence- a bouncy beat, just one chorus hook, elementary lyrics. The fun of these records was entirely a matter of sound quality, but once a record was a hit it took on a kind of sleazy, nostalgic charm of its own. It was precisely the brazen utility of these records, in short, that gave them gay disco consumer appeal too.[...] Eurodisco also had an obvious element of camp -British club audiences took delight in the very gap between the grand gestures of Eurosingers and the vacuity of their songs.
