Oppositional-
Punk- Unpopular with many due to it's extreme nature. It was a mostly underground movement due to its extremism and controversial nature. People fell in love with the subculture --> glam rock. This can be seen as a minor branch of POLITICAL NIHILISM.
Hip-Hop- Common in poor African American areas e.g. ghettos. Targeting controversial issues in the lyrics giving racial minorities a new way of expressing themselves. Examples include Grandmaster Flash.
Disco- Started as a tool to the end of the oppression of blacks, gays and women. It allowed those who felt oppressed to experience social empowerment and democratisation through socialising and music. The extravagant nature of this movement was simply about having fun and enjoying yourself. It concerned the moral majority and the rising New Right movement.
BUT
The success of Saturday Night Fever lead to a boost in the popularity of disco music.
