For some reason, people often say "disco sucks" instead of saying "I dislike disco".
And the reason is usually imo, the bitterness left from disco having such a impact on rock music at a time when it had become imho incredibly pretentious, borish, and frankly quite silly.
"Rock is dead" many said at the time.
Of course it did survive in the end - but only because of the back to basics underground music scenes of New York and London.
At the end of the day, popular music is democratic in that consumers of it vote with their wallets. The pompous dinosaur bands of the seventies had their run. But the only constant is that there is no constant. It’s time to get over it.
