Other social movements occurring, but lgbtq members could not be open in society. Police arrested gay people for public degeneration or something. Bars for these people controlled by the mafia. After stonewall inn riots, clubs formed to cater to lgbtq people. Disco doesn"t become a genre until after the club scenes form. Bass guitar and rhythm guitar being altered the whole way through.
