Disco hate being a cac thing is some revisionist history. It got hate from a lot of people for different reasons.Way too out of my generation but I never understood the mass hate wypipo have against disco.

The Cacs hated its peak popularity but others hates it's watered down status as a music format compared to the things it was derivative of.

Like I said I wasn’t there but I guess I can believe that. My assumption would be the only black or brown people to really hate it would be the thugs or the gangsters.
I know that period was dance club heavy, obviously disco or good for dancing in drugs. But I would have seen it as a major upgrade from the Motown scene for dancing and the 70s (don’t get me wrong we all know Motown is the GOAT
)But actually I guess it could be seen as a lot of people see pop today. The more you know tho, all my other people I talk to never hate on disco but I guess never really praise it either

White anger toward black music. More things change the more they stay the same.
Beat me to it. Disco was a genre that brought together people of color, whites, and LGBT. It gave NYC places like Studio 54.
You nailed it. See people thought it was too pop. There's always been music elitists. Transition from soul to funk to disco left people feeling it was not as good.Like I said I wasn’t there but I guess I can believe that.

I could be wrong but disco to me always seemed like the father of easy format loop based electronic music. It definitely birthed house some time later.

A lot of lame Middle American cacs hated on disco presumably because of its association with black people, LGBT, city life, etc. I guess it put a dent in mainstream rock music.
But the genre was destined to end due to its oversaturation on the radio. By 1979 or 1980 it probably would have been seen as played out no matter what. It's a shame because it was a great genre, and much more interesting than the rock of the late 70s/early 80s.
Then again, a lot of the 80s dance music like what MJ, Kool and the Gang, Madonna, etc. was basically a continuation of disco. Some artists were able to transition but others (like the Bee Gees) were associated too much with the disco era and their career was basically ruined in the US. They released an adult contemporary album in 81 with no falsetto and it flopped hard.

One thing I love about disco is the string arrangements. That was probably the last time that strings would be heavily used in pop music.
