Disko bolo tiež reakciou na dominanciu rockovej hudby a stigmatizáciu tanečnej hudby kontrakultúrou, ktorá dominovala v tejto dobe. Veľmi vrúcne prijali disko štýl hlavne ženy a táto hudba sa nakoniec šírila do niekoľkých ďalších vtedy ešte marginalizovaných spoločenstiev.(2007) The 1970s, ISBN 978-0-313-33919-6, p.203–204: "During the late 1960s various male counterculture groups, most notably gay, but also heterosexual black and Latino, created an alternative to Rockefeller, which was dominated by white—and presumably heterosexual—men.
