It was a political/commercial movement called "disco sucks" that was triggered by a televised stunt at a baseball game which was a kind of book burning. The culture of drugs, sex, and good music was a commercial threat to rock, and other forms of white music like country, so it was destroyed. See the BBC documentary below starting at about 33:00.

I had to pay $10 extra to a doorman at Studio 54 just because I'm not cool - even though I had a ticket - and was with the son of a famous movie director and a beautiful woman who pretended to be his girlfriend (to make us more interesting) but she was really mine...I think.... Anyway, I'm not bitter. Inside was a lady wearing just a python. Disco did not suck.

Nile Rodgers Tells the Story of David Bowie's "Let's Dance"

The audio is not clear. He said the choppy rhythm of Let's Dance arose partly from Nile's fear of disco-sucks vigilantism. In another interview he said that Clearmountain told him years later the beat delays were accidental, because he was unfamiliar with some European equipment. The fog of war.
