I still enjoy Disco and listen to it regularly. That said, like many genres, there's "good" Disco and "bad" Disco.
Disco is all about rhythm and groove, generally accompanied by a rising crescendo going into the chorus. At least for me, there's a serotonin surge-like feeling with the music. It's infectious and just "feels" good.
The "Disco Sucks" movement is still vivid to me. Even though my wheelhouse was and is rock, particularly blues-based rock such as Zeppelin and early Sabbath, I never got caught up in it despite A LOT of peer pressure. It morphed into quite a fervor with torches and pitchforks coming out right and left.
No one genuinely wants to admit it, but the driving force behind the backlash was homophobia. After originating in New York and New Jersey night clubs, Disco was basically "adopted" by the gay community on the west coast, which led to a huge influx of gay performers, such as The Village People, Alicia Bridges, etc. Once that became apparent - in conjunction with a oversaturation impact on pop culture - a rebellion ensued.
That said, the carryover effect on the music itself is a bit misplaced and unfair. There are a lot of people that privately enjoy it more than they would ever admit. The stigma lingers to this day.
