This is on point. People started to hate the disco lifestyle, the underground gay community within it and the commercial push it got. The same reason why House never popped off mainstream in the 80's too.

House people never denied their Disco roots, in fact they called House "Low budget Disco". House was popular in the 80's underground in America but it had to go to Europe and take a backdoor back into the USA because conservative white america/rock crowd were anti-disco/dance music. Electronic Dance Music never was popular in America until the mid 2000's hence, the rebranding and the new name "EDM".
Salsoul Records outta Philly was basically House before House. That was considered the Underground stuff, the stuff Larry Levan was playing at Paradise Garage and Frankie Knuckles spun at The Warehouse.
I still hear dj's spinning them records whenever i still go out to Soulful House nights, and they kill the dancefloors still
People have to understand the House genre has splintered off in so many directions.
The commercial Euro/EDM stuff which is all the rage, has completely obscure the more underground Soulful Deep House scene which is still rooted in Disco, R&B, Gospel, Latin and West African music.
Once House left America in the late 80's the ravey/Trance/Euro Dance sound became synonymous with House. And the more traditional styles got pushed to the background.
In very small circles in NYC, Jersey, DC, Baltimore, Philly, Bay Area, Toronto, London. The more traditional Soulful House sound still exist and has been pushing on, through dedicated dj"s, dancers and folks who just love the music.
And these folks are very aware and still respelct the roots of House. Trust me i experience it every time i go out.

Classic internet shyt.
Who doesn't give disco props for being the mother of house music?
It's not as if people are saying that it was rock music.
Daft Punk dropped the biggest electronic album ever probably that was praising it's origins all over the album. They had a song named Giorgio, after Giorgio Moroder who was Donna Summers producer.
