Euro Disco: Music genre
Euro disco is a form of disco-based dance music which originated in the late-1970s in Europe, as a more European variant of disco music.
Euro disco was based on disco music, yet it was a more encompassing genre which borrowed influences from pop, rock and New Wave music. In such a way, it was more pop-friendly and less "gritty" than regular disco music. It often included synthesizers within its composition.
