Why would I feel guilty about liking a genre of music?

Disco is a rich cultural movement. It was one of the first platforms that LGBT people had in mainstream culture. It was also racially diverse and one of the first mainstream cultural movements to feature blatant sex positivity.

Disco is an essential step in the evolution of 20th century music. Most of what we have today, namely Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop, and R&B music, feature electronic and rhythmic elements with origins in the disco movement.

The use of disco music as a cheap punchline has its origins in a baseball event in the late 1970's with some rather unfortunate implications. You can google it yourself and draw your own conclusions about the event.
