I never could understand the disdain for disco music. It’s upbeat, fun, and makes you happy.

I never could understand the the appreciation of disco music. It’s repetetive, mindless, and makes you wear ugly clothes.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I think a lot of the disco antagonism sprang from the fact that the roots of disco is essentially black R and B and gospel and that many of the discophobes just plain did not like”soul”music.
Smooth harmonies,lush melodies and slamming beats highlighted Disco as a genre.The rock fanatics wanted some interminably long jams where self indulgent white kids could let their egos go completely out of control.
Disco music DID get repetitive occasionally but songs like Shame,Disco Inferno,Good Times,and most of the SNF Soundtrack hold up quite well after all these years.

I don’t either. I liked it as a kid, I still like it.

But then, I’m eclectic. There is very little that’s ever existed that I don’t like (genre-wise). Rap and heavy metal; those I hate as a rule.

Me too. And it didn’t have the bad words and nasty language like some of today’s music, if you can call it that, which I don’t.
