Disco Polo - No No No No No!

One Polish anthropologist told me that Poland's disco-polo bashers are wannabe snobs trying to conceal the fact (even from themselves) that they themselves are only one or two generations removed from the countryside. Jumping on the conformist anti-disco bandwagon heightens their sense of self-worth and makes them feel more citified, sophisticated and cutting edge. Any comments?

Yep - complete bollocks. What's country about an old-school Roland synth and a sub-karaoke backing track?

Kapela ze wsi Warszawa - now that's old-time, country you might say, but progressive with it. Great people too, met 'em a couple of times.

It's either that, or that people don't like inane lyrics laid down over droning breeder beats. If snobbery means not liking boring uninspired noise, I'll take that label and wear it with pride.


Awesome, you like Corvus Corax by any chance?

Ahhh come on...How can a Polish Wedding be as much fun without Disco Polo? I've been to a wedding a coupla times and damn! once you get a little drunk, that music rocks...



But seriously...can Lady Pank be considered Disco Polo? I like it even when I am not drunk...
ENJOY!

I'd say I agree completely. And that goes double for Polish music critics (who mostly would prefer if there were no Polish music at all.

Disco Polo isn't really my taste but I didn't look down on people that liked it and in the 90's it connected with larger audiences than anything else in Polish music.

And, as simplistic as most of it was, at least it was optimistic (it's real sin for Polish critics) and wasn't as nihilistic and self-destructive as hip hop.


What music do you like?

someone wrote here that disco polo is a satan's creation. 100% agree, and that makes it similar to death metal :) i cannot wait for nergal wearing his brand new gym suit with 3 stripes :) and white sport shoes, of course :)

What is it with the bloody Germans and music ?!

Excellent at highbrow, crap at populist.

I mean, classical wise, they are phenomenal, untouchable - goes without saying.

Rock wise - very good at progressive/experimental stuff, but when it comes to basic pop they just soooo bad. It's almost as if they are unable to lower themselves.

Remember that utter git Scooter? He was like a cross between a hairdresser and an escapee from a Hamburg S&M club. Listening to him I could feel the will to live slowly slipping away...

"We were here in '95 we will...etc etc "

:/

Quite a bit of music, Behemoth, Hank III, Samuel Barber, Driveby Truckers, lots of folk... an eclectic mix.

Not a big fan of pop music.


They're great at churning out crappy pop music. I think that 90% of teenage pop love songs are written in a studio somewhere in Dusseldorf by a fat bald 50 year old guy named Gunter.

Yeah, that being the operative word though :)


Do you not just mean you are not a big fan of crap music?
I mean there is good pop music and bad pop music.

As far as I know, Disco Polo is widely known overseas. :)

Would love to see it live someday,

Bara Bara Bara!
Riki Tiki TAK!

Oh, by the way... it's back!

viva-tv.pl/shows/disco-ponad-wszystko/

It's served with a big dose of irony, but it's ..... disco f*king polo.

Old and new.

I won't mention here why I think this is a good thing overall, but I do.

How about this news announcement of a Disco Polo TV Channel!

Also, Bayer Full's 67 million record contract with China.

Disco Polo coming back - YES.

Merged thread:
Disco Polo

Can anyone beat this for pure class?

agree, it's just as bad as techno, rap and hip hop

oh hello? How can you say disco polo is "as bad" as this...in fact how can you even mention them in the same breath?

hey, matter of taste. I just hate it with a passion.

how can you hate on disco polo?? the music is so fun, upbeat, and brings back memories. and usually the words are about love or something along those lines, nothing bad! theres actually a new polish tv station called PoloTV. it just started this month, and they will expand and start offering talk shows on it. for now its just music videos.

check it out- polotv.com.pl just click on Ogladaj POLOtv on the left to watch it.

like I said, matter of taste. There are many good things about Poland, music is not one of them (sorry about that).

but it beats heavy metal any day u have to admit.

it depends how "heavy" :-) ACDC is also heavy metal and I like it a lot. To be honest with you, I like all kinds of music (some more and some less) except for those 4, techno, disco polo, rap and hip hop.

no,id forgotton,but thanks for that u twat,back in da house indeed.....;)

What about this piece of music?

Do you enjoy the joke?

Disco polo is great.I always listen to it to raise my mood.

Those two videos I have posted are not Disco Polo type of music.

You haven`t seen the best of it yet.



Isn`t it great? Look at those bodies!

I find disco polo a relaxing music giving opportunity to meditate.Highly popular in the polish village.

Thanks everyone! I had never heard of the genre. Now I do. I'm actually proud of the fact that Poles came up with it :)

Fanatic- Rzeki przepłynąłem


If that's pain, give me more! lol


Whoa convex! Lighten up. It's not all Mozart and Hayden :) It makes people happy, dance and feel good. Music for the masses.

Do you feel yourself to be... a mass, sameness swarming to a beat of DP music? Strange!


The Bolsheviks' dream come true.

PRECZ MI Z OCZU SZATANIE!!!

Just remember, you asked for it.

A relatively benign beginning......

And directly into

DEEP HURTING

EXTREME PAIN

No, I do not have any mercy, why do you ask?
