And the music of the era saw a similar progression, as sounds pioneered in underground scenes became popular sensations around the world. Disco first emerged in gay clubs in New York and Chicago and soon began to dominate the charts, while all kinds of music, from punk to pop, started to embrace the radical openness of a community learning to accept its own sexual identity.
