Diehard rock and roll fans were appalled by disco and treated it with contempt. 

Disco was, at worst, harmless, but non-fans treated it like it was a plague. At one point, a baseball stadium even organized a ‘Death to Disco’ day and invited fans to publicly burn disco records. 

For a while, there was a harsh divide in our music culture, but over time disco music crept in and started to blend with the mainstream until it quickly was the mainstream. In a matter of months, the four-on-the-floor beat rhythms of disco would integrate virtually every existing music format, and nobody died from it.
