Because it was soulless, annoying, a cashin to dance crazes & clubs, bland, and most sounded the same.  :P  :D


I think most people realized that there were better music like punk, new wave, rock, etc. and left disco behind since it was a dumb fad like pet rocks.

Hmmm.  I'm among those that welcomed Disco when it first arrived but ended up being glad when it "died".   :-\\

When it was "just another" music style ('74-'75), it brought variety, a new sound, upbeat and danceable.  Disco was more creative, too, because it wasn't "IT" yet, so a Disco song wasn't a guaranteed hit.

Into the later 70's, somebody in the music industry decided that everybody wanted Disco and nothing else.  So it began to choke out all of the other great music styles that existed before it, relegating anything non-Disco to second tier.  So many 70's artists said they suffered during this era because of Disco.  Other artists adapted the Disco sound just so they could be have hits.

On top of that, Disco music got watered down - a lot of inferior songs became popular just because they worked as Disco.  When Disco reworks of classical music soared to the top of the charts, I knew this was wrong.   :P

After Saturday Night Fever et all, Disco started to encroach not just into popular music, but popular culture.  It was around that time the revolt began.

That's my two cents.
