Could’ve taken five seconds to alter the image so that it actually said “beetle” instead of responding to every comment trying to explain your joke.
Truly a failure of a shitpost.
Dont worry, youll be one of those guys soon enough
Nah. I'm 46 and have never liked them.
You can appreciate and respect that somebody did something innovative while still not liking that innovative thing.
Maybe not the beetles, but some other band from your youth that the current generation will call overrated.
I grok what you are saying. I just don't feel that way. To me, music is too subjective to expect anyone to like anything, even if I think it is the bee's knees.
Maybe it helps that I have always had fairly 'out there' musical tastes so I am never shocked when someone doesn't like something that I do.
I haven't really listened to their music, but I recognise its significance to recent history.
The Beatles were popular 50-60 years ago.
Even if they listened to it when they were 10, they are about to retire in a couple of years.
Nothing middle aged about it.
What age do you consider middle aged?
40s if you're in the US, that is quite literally the midpoint of the average human lifespan here
Mid 40's guy here - the last Beatles album was released 9 years before I was born and their last concert was 10 years before I was born. I agree that popular bands don't stop having fans the moment they break up but there's 20 years between when they broke up and when my peers started to have their own mususical preferences.
But that's far from retirement...?
The Beatles have been one of the most popular bands in the world consistently every year from the 60s right up until today lol how do so many people think everyone immediately stops listening to any band the second they break up lol
They do look a bit like Paul to be fair.
Why hate them? What did they do to you?
Beetles are a shitpost
Change my mind
Why do you think someone would go to the trouble of drilling 2 extra holes in each of these containers?
That's a good question! I am also interested.
My first thought was that it might aid in draining them as an air hole, to stop it from going glub blub, especially if they contained something really viscous like honey or oil, but then why not just one air hole, and why not higher up?
My second thought was that maybe someone just intended to make them look like faces for some reason.
I'm going for b)
Hating any music is weird, as hate takes vastly more effort than indifference.
Hating specifically anything of comparable acclaim as the Beatles is, frankly, just contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism.
If you didn't like them you just wouldn't like them, but what you actually like is not liking them as a factor of your personality.
Did you just suggest that anyone who claims to dislike the Beatles is lying just to be difficult? Believe it or not it is actually possible to dislike things, even critically acclaimed popular things, beyond the point of indifference. Honestly your statement is what sounds like pure contrarianism meant to stir up drama lol
No, I'm claiming hating the Beatles is a choice. Hate is active. People who dislike things don't waste their time thinking about how much they dislike them and telling people proudly how much they dislike them, they just move on.
In fact, I'm pretty luke-warm on the Beatles as a whole (though I can certainly appreciate their songwriting and understand their massive popularity). The point is hatred is its own kind of fandom, as both camps center around the thing. I don't bring up the Beatles because I don't have many opinions on them; that's vastly more passive than this person proudly declaring their dislike for Popular Thing™
Doing literally anything besides just existing and breathing the air each day is "a choice". That doesn't mean people only do things just to annoy you...
disliking =/= hating
i dislike most rap music, which means i don't actively look for that genre of music to listen to it, but i won't burst into flames if a friend of mine puts some rap in the queue at the party, and i won't complain about it (unless they've been hogging the queue with non stop 3h of rap, then i will complain)
i hate dishonesty and manipulation, if i spot it i'll instantly feel a surge of intense negative emotions and a strong repulsion to whoever was dishonest or manipulative (relative to the offence of course, lying about eating the snack i was saving vs lying about idk being faithful don't prompt the same reaction)
i don't think you can really hate any genre of music or particular band, as the other person said, proclaiming yourself a "hater" of a popular genre or group is just contrarianism for contrarianism's sake, 5 years down the line it'll stop being cool to hate on that music and that's when you stop "hating" them
I don't hate them. I just don't listen to their music. It's not my taste. I do appreciate their significance and popularity, though. I just don't really enjoy their music.
I think my favorite Beatles fact is they were being taxed at like a 90+% rate and didn't even know for a couple years.
When they found out and took it to court the judge basically said "you were making so much money you didn't even realize you were being taxed at all. Sucks to suck we're gonna keep taxing you at the same rate"
