They're severely overrated, but also quite culturally/historically relevant. So... what can ya do?

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 0 points 5 months ago

the word overrated means nothing and is used by cowards to try to discourage enthusiasm for things they can never comprehend.. it needs to be burnt on a word pyre.. it's impossible to overrate The Beatles, only a figment of the Matrix would think that..

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'll rephrase:

I think the Beatles are not nearly as good or enjoyable as many people suggest, and I'm not afraid to say it.

They also had stupid haircuts.

Even more super edge and such a hilarious and charming gif worthy of repeating

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 0 points 5 months ago

not nearly as good or enjoyable as many people suggest

you just reiterated your disdain for enthusiasm and nothing more.. you are a chatbot..

That really hurts my feelings ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I will be haunted by your harsh words for many a sleepless night ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ˜ฑ

It looks like I might have lost some fake internet points too!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

#OH MY GOD!!!

the trauma is too much... I'm going to be sick with fear!!! ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ

You sound like you're highly overrated by yourself.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 0 points 5 months ago
[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Of what, exactly? People are allowed to be as enthusiastic about The Beatles as they want. I'm a big fan of their music myself.

Your comment, on the other hand? That was self-important edgelord nonsense lol

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 0 points 5 months ago

you're afraid someone will use the word overrated on your opinion

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

That makes even less sense than your FIRST bit of nonsense ๐Ÿ˜„

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 0 points 5 months ago

do your best, i don't expect much from Vikings or hippies

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

So I guess UNDERrating IS possible in the weird little universe you've built for yourself ๐Ÿคท

[-] rainynight65@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

They are extremely relevant, culturally and historically. They broke new grounds for music, and a lot of today's music would simply not exist without the Beatles, or some of their contemporaries. That alone means they're not overrated.

However that doesn't mean everyone has to love them. It's possible to recognise their relevance without worshipping them.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago

I mean honestly, wtf do I know. Most people would hate a good portion of my music library. This is all subjective.

[-] steeznson@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

I think this is a case of the Seinfeld effect where people take them for granted due to them being so influential that part of their sound has become imbued into every single pop band that came after them.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

Yeah, there are any number of "But so-and-so did it so much better than the Beatles!" instances, but the thing is that so-and-so wouldn't have even tried if the Beatles hadn't done it first.

Take or leave their music, there's no denying the massive influence they had.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

It's like how Elvis improved the sandwich market forever with his invention.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

I'm not proposing we do anything. I think they deserve their fame.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

We could send Japanese women to individually destroy their careers.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Sounds like a bunch of work tho

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 5 months ago

They're all trained saboteurs, they need little to no guidance. Get this... we use performance artists. Success is guaranteed!
