A lot of disco isn't corny, it's cool.
I'm not a particularily big fan of gated verbs, but a lot of 80s stuff wouldn't be the same without gated verbs, just as the power ballad wouldn't be the same without 'the clenched fist'.
I like trends in music, that's what defines music history.
Play me any song from the 80s and I'll tell you what year it was made. A song from 86 is different from a song from 87. A song from 88 is totally different than a song from 83.
Without trends all music would sound the same, and the world would be even more boring than it already is
