[edit] Future-Disco

a curious combination of original research and POV seemingly based on an out-of-context quote by Camille Paglia and attributed to Madonna. A new style of music invented by Madonna, and of which Madonna is currently the only exponent, it would seem. Rossrs 13:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom --Pak21 13:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - it's based on a comment made in advance of the album's release. Nobody's making such claims for the new genre now. Sort of past-tense crystalballism, if you will. Vizjim 13:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, at least until it gains some verifiable mainstream popularity. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 16:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Stubblyhead. If it gains popularity and if this term sticks, then there could be an article. But not yet, and (as per Vizjim), it doesn't seem likely that it will happen.. --BrownHairedGirl 17:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete future implies not yet the time for something. disco implies long past the time. This article is both. M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete with references, I could be convinced otherwise Metromoxie 01:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Although I think the article needs to be edited and/or re-written i do not think it should be deleted. It comes off too much like a fan article on Madonna but there is some truth to the idea of this style/genre catching on. There is a remix by DJ Eddie Baez for Oakenfold featuring Brittany Murphy "Faster Kill Pussycat" that is titled "Eddie Baez's Future Disco Mix." This may very well be a genre of dance catching on. I don't think the article should be deleted, just edited. MJWMikeinrdgpaMJW
• Delete - Yeeesh, that's a bad article. Looks just like a second article for the Madonna album. No one refers to this as a real genre. The "style" is prevelent in the dance music community, but no one calls it "future disco". Sounds like a description Madonna may have used once during an interview if the interviewer happened to ask "so how would you describe the album in one word?" -- eo 02:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• You hit the nail right on the head. Madonna was asked how to describe the sound of her album and she dubbed it "future-disco." If anything there should be an article as a sub-genre of dance called "Nu-Disco." This style of dance has been around since the late 90's and some notable examples are Stardust "Music Sounds Better With You", Modjo "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" and DJ Spiller "Groove Jet(If this Ain't Love)." Perhaps an article should be done on Nu-Disco with a mention of Future-Disco being another term for the genre. Just an idea.  :-) MJWMikeinrdgpaMJW

The tracks you mention above are really of the french house genre, for which an article already exists, albeit a very skeletal stub kinda thing that is begging to be expanded. -- eo 23:45, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

It's not really appropriate to mention "future disco" as another term for the genre, if Madonna is the only one using that term. Rossrs 00:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
