@Paul Warren: Hip hop isn't disco, but techno, dance (look, what's funny is, that there are two different genres inside one, techno being "hip hop" and dance being "disco". Both of them are often count as one, due to huge overlap between them) etc. is. Although, it only depends how do you look at it, since there's one major value that has sustained since rock&roll grew popular among the white population, which is it being rhytmic and being able to dance it, no similar "revolution" than rock&roll have been seen since.
Elvis was to rock&roll, what Abba was to disco. Today, Nightwish and HIM are to rock&roll, what Sophie-Ellis Bextor is to disco.
What has changed during the years, is basically everything, only thing that have happened is the music changing over time, the change have allowed new kind of music to enter between genres, that are going apart from each other.
If we want to go by "strict" definitions, rock&roll is dead, disco is dead, heavy metal is dead, etc. None of the genres are what they used to be, unless you start looking how the music have evolved over the time.
