What genre of music from the late 1970s to late 1980s includes the hit song Velfarre 2000 by the artist Bazooka Girl?
Italo disco
Italo disco
Italo disco (sometimes hyphenated, such as Italo-disco, subjected to varying capitalization, or abbreviated as Italo) is a genre of pop music which originated in Italy and was mainly produced from the late 1970s to the late 1980s.
 The origin of the genre's name is strongly tied to marketing efforts of the ZYX record label, which began licensing and marketing the music outside Italy in 1982.
 Italo disco faded in the early 1990s.
Cristiana Cucchi
Bazooka Girl (Chinese: 火箭炮姑娘, Pinyin: Huǒjiànpào gūniang) (real name: Cristiana Cucchi, Chinese: 郑玉婷, Pinyin: Zhèngyùtíng) is a eurobeat (originating from Italo disco) vocalist and one of the most well-known names on "HI-NRG Attack", an Italian record label.
 Her speedy and energetic songs, especially her hit, a Chinese New Year song in English called "Velfarre 2000", have charmed many C-Eurobeat fans.
Polymarchs
Polymarchs is the name of a mobile DJ collective (or SONIDERO) based in Mexico City which plays Electronic dance music.
 Polymarchs was created in the late 1970s as a mobile DJ collective by Oaxacan native, Apolinar Silva de la Barrera and his sister Maria during the Disco music phenomenon of the 1970s.
 It began playing shows in distinct Mexico City neighborhoods and began headlining successful sold out shows by the early 1980s.
 By the late 1980s as the overall popularity of Disco music diminished in Mexico, Polymarchs was one of the selected few that successfully changed its musical format to appeal to younger audiences.
 As of 2012, Polymarchs continues to be active in the Mexico City area with its resident DJ actively performing in events throughout the area. List of Europop artists
Europop refers to a style of pop music that first developed in today's form in Europe, throughout the late 1970s.
 Europop topped the charts throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
 Some Europop stars came from France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands and the United Kingdom, but most were Swedish in origin.
 In the 1970s, such groups were primarily popular in continental countries, with the exception of the biggest Europop outfit ever, Swedish 4-piece ABBA, who achieved great success in the UK, where they scored a 19 top 10 singles and 9 chart-topping albums, and in North America and Australia.
 In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Roxette and Ace of Base led Europop in American and British mainstream audiences.
 In the 1990s, pop groups like the Spice Girls, Aqua, Backstreet Boys and singer DJ BoBo were strongly influenced by Europop.
 In the 2000s, one of the most popular representators of Europop music is Swedish pop group Alcazar.
 One of the main differences between American and European pop is that Europop is generally more dance and trance oriented.
 In central Europe, Italo disco (a.k.a. ’80s Eurodisco) and Euro house (a.k.a. ’90s Eurodance) (later) are the predominant attempts by young musicians to have a hit record in and beyond the borders of their own country. Jo-El Sonnier

Heartbreak Express is Dolly Parton's 24th solo studio album.
 Released in April 1982, the album returned Parton to a more fully realized country sound (a process she had begun on the previous year's "9 to 5 and Odd Jobs"), after her late 1970s pop recordings.
 The album's first single, "Single Women", a slow-tempo honkytonk ballad about a singles bar, was written by "Saturday Night Live" writer Michael O'Donoghue, and had previously appeared in an "SNL" skit in late 1980.
 The single provided a top ten single for Parton.
 The title cut also was a top ten hit for her.
 "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" (a song Parton had written in the early 1970s but had never "officially" recorded) appeared as a double-A-sided single (along with Parton's rerecording of "I Will Always Love You" from the "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Soundtrack"), and reached #1 on the country charts in August 1982. Rave music
Rave music may either refer to the late 1980s/early 1990s genres of house, breakbeat, acid house, techno and hardcore techno, which were the first genres of music to be played at rave parties, or to any other genre of electronic dance music (EDM) that may be played at a rave.
 The genre "rave", also known as hardcore by early ravers, first appeared amongst the UK "acid" movement during the late 1980s at warehouse parties and other underground venues, as well as on UK pirate radio stations.
 The genre would develop into oldschool hardcore, which lead onto newer forms of rave music such as drum and bass and 2-step, as well as other hardcore techno genres, such as gabber, hardstyle and happy hardcore.
 Rave music is usually presented in a DJ mix set, although live performances are not uncommon. Synth-pop
Synth-pop (short for synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop) is a subgenre of new wave music that first became prominent in the late 1970s, reached its heyday in the 1980s, and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument.
 It was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock, electronic, art rock, disco, and particularly the "Krautrock" of bands like Kraftwerk.
 It arose as a distinct genre in Japan and the United Kingdom in the post-punk era as part of the new wave movement of the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. VST &amp; Co.
VST & Co. were a Filipino disco group prominent during the late 1970s in the Philippines.
 Considered by many to be the pioneer and icon of what is known as the Manila Sound, VST & Co. released disco singles such as "Swing It, Baby", "Magsayawan", "Ipagpatawad Mo", "Awitin Mo, Isasayaw Ko" and "Disco Fever".
 The group rose to fame with other bands that were grouped under the Manila Sound genre, such as Hotdog, Cinderella and The Boyfriends.
 VST & Co. eventually faded from popularity when OPM (Original Pilipino Music), a new musical genre, emerged and rose to prominence in the late 1970s.
