Disco sadly,a shame since Soul is a far better genre.

Me. 

Just kidding it was Disco

Can someone explain what the difference between soul and RnB is? I don't get it

R&amp;B is bouncy pop with a beat while soul has big melodramatic vocals and may not necessarily have a beat.

R&amp;B is derived from blues and influenced by rock &amp; roll while Soul is derived from R&amp;B but with influences from gospel and orchestral music instead of rock and roll.

this, plus I suspect the influx of white musicians jumping on the funk/soul bandwagon towards the late 70's pushed blacks away from it

Didn't RnB used to have gospel and orchestral influences in sub-genres like doo-wop?

White people attempting to do it

Me, I killed soul

Why does it always get worse? EDM is a shitty version of house music, which is a shitty version if disco, which is a shitty version of funk/soul

Crackers

blue-eyed soul artists were banned from soul radio stations for not being black, talk about racism

White people. It’s like an inverse of what’s happening in America, with black people destroying something great that white people created.

because they sucked and schmaltzed the music up.

Isn't it the post-soul generations of black people who abandoned soul while lapsing into hiphop?

nog hop killed it and music in general

I miss the “pop orchestra”. It wasn’t just soul/gospel, jazz had it too in Big Band. I guess in a sense it’s to be expected that digital reproduction is gonna take precedence over real orchestration but how come no pop is composed for that sound set anymore? Usually any orchestral element at all is used for color in certain parts or as a chopped up component. You still see pop songs written for, e.g. piano, or for guitar, but you never see anything written for like a chamber orchestra or jazz ensemble or anything like that.

soul emerged a decade before hip hop, braindead zoomer

yeah disco is like cool from a production standpoint but it was always kind of a meme genre; shame, soul is considerably better

/thread

it definitely killed whatever was left of it you stupid nigger

I was under the impression European Critics had extremely elevated views of Soul Music the same way they did Jazz and that White Audiances in The USA were completely fucking ambivalent. Could be wrong.

are bee gees soul

No lmao,they're Disco.

Technology, eventually.

In the end, you will have to admit it's true.

Counter argument, Rock stayed good after we took over. If you guys stuck to your guns and waited for blue-eyed soul to pass then you could have kept evolving Soul. Also, fuck you for your biases of White = Shit. Not bowing down to you cunts.
