  3. Disc Jockey

  4. Disc Jockey

    Word Origin: DJ

    Origin: 1950

    Perhaps it was a headline writer for the show-business journal Variety who thought up the term disc jockey to signify "someone who plays discs (phonograph records) for an audience, on the radio or at a social gathering." The issue of August 6, 1941, has an article on New York City record jockeys, compressing record to disc for the headline. The August 13 issue picks up disc throughout: "Gilbert is a disc-jockey who sings with his records," and "Art Green disc-jockeys from Manhattan Beach" (in California).

    After disc jockey, numerous other humorous jockeys were coined: bus jockey (driver), typewriter jockey (typist), and slide-rule jockey (airplane navigator), for example. But it was the abbreviation DJ, also appearing as d.j. and deejay, that marked the growing importance of the disk jockey and of recorded popular music in the 1950s. The DJ had become an arbiter of popular taste.

    Discotheques, or discos, introduced in the 1950s and 1960s, allowed reinterpretation of DJ as "disco jockey." In the 1970s, the term talk jockey was invented, meaning "host of a radio talk show," later shortened to the rhyming talk jock and instigating the coinage of shock jock for the host of a "shock" talk show of the 1990s. In the early 1980s, the new technology of music videos inspired the term video jockey, shortened to VJ.

    Amid these spinoffs, the original DJ lives vigorously on. "The d.j. can still hope to help people transform their daily selves through music," solemnly wrote a New York nightclub DJ in a 1996 New Yorker article.

    All the best :)
