Those cans aren't all white and neither are we - get your ears checked weirdo.
I can't hear you over all the buzzing from their wings!
They're severely overrated, but also quite culturally/historically relevant. So... what can ya do?
I'm not proposing we do anything. I think they deserve their fame.
We could send Japanese women to individually destroy their careers.
Sounds like a bunch of work tho
They're all trained saboteurs, they need little to no guidance. Get this... we use performance artists. Success is guaranteed!
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..
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.
not nearly as good or enjoyable as many people suggest
you just reiterated your disdain for enthusiasm and nothing more.. you are a chatbot..
Thanks Dwight.
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.
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.
I mean honestly, wtf do I know. Most people would hate a good portion of my music library. This is all subjective.
I am a middle aged white guy and I honestly don't give a shit about the Beatles lol
They have maybe 4 or 5 songs I actually like and I've always said they were overrated
That's because the Beatles broke up in 1970, so anyone who remembers them from their active years is well over 60, which would be really stretching the definition of middle-aged
It definitely is. I think the person who made this meme might be middle-aged by now.
I'm 42 and I grew up surrounded by people my own age who were Beatles fanatics lol people actually kept listening to them long after they broke up
How about beetles? Wanna discuss beetles?
Hate the Beatles all you want. You just can’t hate the Stones.
I'll bet there are more stones than species of beetle
Types of stone or instances of stone?
Individual stones
Ok, let’s start counting.
I'll take the left side, you go right. We'll meet in the middle. Go!
Ok, I’m done. I counted 4.
Maybe try again? I've found 456,734 so far.
I forgot to mention that I’m really lazy.
I'm beginning to think that you might not be right for this project.. Have you considered pivoting to body design at Porsche?
Don't change a winning formula.
True, inspired laziness can often be highly effective 😁
I don't hate the Beatles, but I do think they're extremely overrated. There's about three Beatles songs I'd choose to listen to.
Sargent pepper's lonely hearts club band is the second worst song to ever get significant airplay, behind I shot the sheriff, and ahead of You're Beautiful by James Blunt. That one I stand firm on.
Hate is a strong word. I just prefer to listen to other stuff. I understand how they were culturally significant half a century ago, but that’s half a century ago.
OPs got the wrong generation. I'm middle aged I fucking hate Beatles. It was my parents music. Boomer music.
I would like to present a counter argument: maybe the middle aged white men represented by multiethnic cans in this meme are coming out to agree!
Am I the only on here that actually likes the Beatles? They're catchy and familiar, not to mention have some weird and whacky unusual stuff like Revolution 9. Also found the conspiracy theory fun to dive into.
Obviously music is extremely subjective but you can't tell me that their music was not objectively a massive deal, at least historically.
Middle-age would be in your 40s-50s. Not to diss my dead relatives too hard, but you're thinking of old fucks that would have any solid opinion on that. In a handful of years, the music middle aged men will be up in arms about is *NSYNC.
I actually wasn't thinking about it at all. I was thinking about bugs!
