Many of the songs are catchy and the dance moves were generally on point.

It jumped the shark and then it was fair game.



For the record, there's lots of disco that I like/listen to....

I've always been a Donna Summer fan.

It’s the “me too “ syndrome.

It's definitely vastly overdone. There is a lot of truth to the (now much better understood/remembered) backlash at the time having been based on race and anti-gay sentiment.

There's a lot of good disco music and I think it's dumb to just say "disco sucks".

It was the phaggy/guido culture more than the music itself

but don't go overboard simply b/c it's preferable to rap
