Answer 1

The correct answer is B) it was thought to be an extension of the hippie aesthetic of the psychedelic era.

All of the following statements about disco are true EXCEPT that it was thought to be an extension of the hippie aesthetic of the psychedelic era.

What is true about disco music was that it hit the mainstream in 1977, it was thought to be an extension of the hippie aesthetic of the psychedelic era, and the music was focused on the rhythmic beat.

Without a doubt, disco music created so much sensation in the 1977s and beyond, up to the beginning of the 1980s. New York City was the place to be in those years if you loved disco music. Indeed, the film industry helped to promote this genre when John Travolta impacted the world in the movie "Saturday Night Fever," which included the music of the Australian band The Bee-Gees.

Answer 2

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

While disco music and culture did become popular in the late 70's, its origins and popularity go back a few years before. In 1974, the song "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation became one of the the first disco songs to become a number one in most US charts; the same occured to "Kung Fu Fighting" in 1975.
