What's wrong with disco?
 
I've been listening to some Chic, and they're awesome. Funky and talented, with great basslines. I also like some other disco artists as well, such as the Beegees. So what's with the disco backlash? I can understand a post-grunge backlash or a gangsta-rap backlash, but a lot of disco sounds genuinely fun to listen to.

All I know is that my dad loves funk, but he also loves Disco. So you're not alone. I've never really listened to Disco.

Absolutely nothing.

I thought it was a rhetorical question but I guess not. Nowt wrong with disco in my opinion. It's feel-good music.

The only disco backlash I'm aware of happened back in the early 80s when disco was dying. I wasn't aware there was any backlash against it today.

Some people just can't appreciate a sick bass groove and electric funk. and those are people I stay far, far away from.

It's cheesy and it killed all the good music man. It's neither groovy nor trippy.

I think this song is both groovy and trippy:

The complaint with disco in the late 1970's was that it was devoid of emotion, that it was just studio production with no heart. It had nothing to do with disliking bass groove. Parliment/Funkidelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band, Ohio Players, Earth Wind and Fire were all well accepted. KC & the Sunshine Band and The Village People, not so much.
