But why, though? Why can they not co-exist and a person who likes one be allowed to in peace?

Because people were sick of the corporate crap the record companies and radio stations were trying to shove down their throats. They wanted loud screaming rock’n’roll guitar solos, not the Bee Gees singing in falsetto and wearing spandex.

Disco Demolition Night was an importand cultural event. Because of that night, the Who put out Long Live Rock, AC-DC put out Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, Billy Joel put out It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me, and Joan Jett put out I Love Rock’n’Roll. Watch the video for Rock This Town by the Stray Cats. They have a girl beat up a guy dressed in disco clothes. LOL!
