Disco: Disco Revisionism Sucks!

I think that's enough articles about how Disco changed the world - and brought all society's most marginalised people LIKE TEH GAYS! into the mainstream and set us free from our bondage blah blah blah de-blah - for the time being, thanks.
Is there nobody who's prepared to stand up and say they always thought Disco was shit?

    No idea of the historical import of 'disco sucks'? = No understanding of gay history. None. Look up who promoted that idea.

    Disco was a revolutionary movement for gay people and I guess you young uns just want to throw those - blacks, hispanics, 70s gays - who paved the way under the bus - because, what? You can't separate musical taste from historical understanding?

    I know its historical import, it's just this was the fourth article from The Guardian alone in five days telling me about it...

    Disco was mostly rubbish. So was house, rave and glam rock.

    And they were all kind-of but not-really important historically.

    Odd how we have 40 years of gay musical innovation, then it stops...and suddenly homophobia's uncool.

    I think I should repeat The Guardian has published some first-rate articles.

    Load of cliched schlock in some other papers...
