When the church and Mass went from a quiet, dignified ceremony in Latin with an organist to a hometown revival with geetars and kissing and hugging, I left the church.

When I went back on one occasion and introduced myself to the pastor after leaving Mass, he gave me a box of little envelopes. I left and never went back again.

Try it again at one of the Tridentine Rite masses that will no doubt soon be celebrated - many priests were as disgusted as you were with the geetars and kissing and hugging, and have been waiting for years for this day. And many young priests who have only seen it in videos or occasional celebrations by Tridentine Rite groups are busy learning it right now!

I agree with your feelings entirely; you were far from the only person to leave the Church over that. I think the removal of the Old Mass somehow, in fact, was one of the things responsible for the collapse of Western civilization in the 1960s.
