This whole discussion has got me craving the new Daft Punk album for a number of reasons!

now I can go back to fantasizing about my new, healthy, all-natural gay robot-a-go-go band, the Sperm Trees.

There were several other good reasons for people to dislike it though:
- Rockers felt threatened by the polished sound, completely free of noisy guitars- Prog fans disliked it for the same reason they had also disliked bubblegum and the teen oriented glam stuff, and would later dislike punk: It was too musically simple- People preoccupied with rock ideologi disliked the fact that there were people behind caring more about constructing hits to bring them money rather than about making good music.

(By the way, straight males might have listened to Sylvester and Chic's "Real People" album more carefully if they'd realized they would have gotten laid if they'd danced to those hits. Most indie boys nowadays know that dancing - well or badly - makes you 10 times hotter. Here in Miami we have the swishy mid '90s Britpop to thank for that development).

What is cryptic about it? For the record, I do not think that homosexuals and machines are 'unnatural'.
― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 5 April 2005 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link
he did kind of hate machines, now that i think about it.
and all this talk about disco, machines and gays cannot lumber forward another step withour a mention of "There But for The Grace Of God Go I" by MACHINE which is, in and of itself, a version of this very discussion...

Chorus:There but for the grace of God go I
Poppy and the family left the dirty streetsTo find a quiet place overseasAnd year after year the kid has to hearThe do's the don'ts and the dearsAnd when she's ten years old she digs that rock 'n' rollBut Poppy bans it from home
Chorus
Baby, she turns out to be a natural freakPopping pills and smoking weedAnd when she's sweet sixteen she packs her things and leavesWith a man she met on the streetCarmen starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wallToo much love is worse than none at all

challenge of origin myths
privileging
logocentrism
obsession with authentic
(i get the idea you might be taking an interesting idea and turning it boring; i just have no idea what the idea *is*, because you haven't remotely explained it.)

this completely makes sense -- just like how, in the pre-sgt. pepper's '60s, none of the rock bands ever had to bill themselves as "real rock bands"; in fact, nobody had to do that until, when, springsteen? something like that. (maybe the band or creedence or flamin groovies did; I dunno -- but if your point is that the alleged authenticity doesn't have to advertise itself as such until it has sort of reduced itself to an *homage* to authenticity, i think I agree.

Well, basically, the hatred against disco ended because the same people suddenly felt even more hatred against synthpop.

There were more signs of homophobia in the hatred against boybands during the late 90s, although that too, was mainly just a hatred against corporate mass-produced commercial pop.
