I think the mood here is just not to dance.... 

1) The extreme conservative populace is gender and sex obsessed and clubbing and dancing interferes with their ideas of propriety and queer oppression [of course, many of them are queer and banging all the time.]

2) The quality of life here is getting worse and worse and worse. Most people are barely managing to keep their heads above water. 

 

3) The motivation to celebrate is at rock bottom.

 

ACCEPT NOT ANYMORE, the election went so well

I predict Dance pop will have a comeback now that people want to love again

Well let's hope Recession Pop makes a comeback after Trump is gone.  I feel the children yearn for another EuroPop/Dance revolution.

Racism, transphobia, femmephobia, and homophobia all play a part.

Look up the end of the disco revolution.

Came here to say the same thing. Dance music culture has always been carried by queer and Black communities here so it doesn't get a whole lot of GP traction unless it's a stadium song used for sports events, and even then it's not doing much.

Additionally, for TL;DR consideration …

It's not a country known for good taste...

(No offense, guys. Most people in my country, Brazil, have even worse taste for music. You guys wouldn't believe the crap that makes Spotify TOP 50 around here.)

I think the last Dance songs I heard about doing well in the US were No Broke Boys, I’m Good and Rain on Me.

it’s the same here in France (without No Broke Boys cause I’ve never heard about it). Dance music just isn’t popular at all. There’s a house music demographic but no hit ever comes out of it

the kids don't wanna dance
