Recorded music technology evolved from the phonautograph in 1857 which recorded sound but could not play it back, to Edison's phonograph in 1877 which could both record and playback sound on phonograph cylinders. Berliner's gramophone in the 1890s allowed mass production of vinyl records. Throughout the 20th century, recording formats continued advancing to include 10-inch and 12-inch records played at different speeds, until the introduction of compact discs in 1982 which had greater storage capacity than vinyl records. Recorded music grew to be a major part of popular culture and a commercial industry over this time period.
Early disco costumes featured bright colors, sequins, and flared trousers which reflected the fashion of the 1970s. While trousers styles changed, bright contrasting colors have remained an essential part of disco costumes. More modern disco tracks have more gender neutral costumes, like Mika incorporating both male and female styles in "Blame it on the girls" and La Roux wearing a modern jacket and trousers. This eliminates expectations of the male or female gaze and allows disco music videos to appeal to wider audiences similarly to the music itself.
Punk music emerged in the mid-1970s as a reaction to disco music, shaped by bands like the Ramones. It was started by people inexperienced in traditional music rules, allowing them to break rules easily. England adopted punk to express issues like high unemployment, resonating with rebellious, angry youth who had free time. This led to punk fashion stocked in shops like SEX, owned by Malcolm McClaren who aimed to reinvent New York fashion, eventually founding the iconic Sex Pistols. By the late 1970s, punk was solidified as both a genre and style, spawning subgenres that further pushed boundaries.
Salsa originated from the contradanza dance that was brought from France to Spain and then to Cuba, where it mixed with African and indigenous traditions to form Afro-Cuban music. In the late 19th century, independence movements in Latin American countries and the Spanish American War led to migration between islands and to the US. In the 1940s-1950s, Cuban and Caribbean music mixed with jazz in New York, Miami, and Colombia, giving rise to mambo, cha-cha-cha, and other genres. Artists in the 1970s then combined these Latin genres with other influences to create the genre known as salsa.
Indie pop originated in the UK in the mid-1980s as a genre of alternative rock that was inspired by the DIY ethic of punk and featured artists signed to independent record labels rather than major labels. It was typified by jangling guitars and melodic pop song structures and emerged from the post-punk era. A key moment was the 1986 C86 album released by NME magazine, which compiled new bands on British independent labels and reflected the emerging indie pop sound and scene, helping to establish the genre. Some original influential indie pop bands included The Smiths, The June Brides, and The Pastels.
