Dance-rock

Dance-rock is a dance-infused genre of rock music.[2] It is a post-disco genre connected with pop rock and post-punk with fewer rhythm and blues influences. It originated in the early 1980s, following the decline in popularity of both punk and disco.[3]

Examples of early dance-rock include Gina X's "No G.D.M.",[4] Russ Ballard's "On the Rebound",[5] artists such as Dinosaur L, Liquid Liquid and Polyrock,[6] and the compilation album Disco Not Disco.[7][8]
