House Music Began In The Early 1980s...

History is continually being rewritten with a '70s slant and the latest item to be transformed is House music. Now, I don't particularly like House music, I prefer Disco, but the fact is that House music began to come into being in the early 1980s. It doesn't matter if punters at Frankie Knuckles's club, The Warehouse, were asking for the latest "house" records at their local record purveyor's shop, they were talking about Disco records played at The Warehouse.

House music, of course, was heavily influenced by Disco, as Disco was heavily influenced by soul, pop and funk and so on, but the House Music era, and the House music sound, began in the early 1980s, not in the late 1970s as online 70s fantasists are trying to make out.

Fact is fact.

Wikipedia - "Crap Wrapped In A Computer"

I've been having another browse through Wikipedia, and I must say it doesn't improve. Things seem worse than ever: lies and nonsense, aimed at glorifying the 1970s, abound - and why are so many things from the 1980s listed as "70s" or "90s"?

Elsewhere, Wikipedia is really dire, too.

The concept has proven itself unworkable.

Too many agendas, too much ignorance posing as knowledge.

I can't quote things from Wikipedia as they are liable to change within minutes, but don't trust it folks.

The title of this post is a quote from the World Wide Web.

Accurate, I'm sure you'll agree.

Unlike Wiki.
