Yes Yes. Beatles were a boy band. Doctor Who was a children’s program. And you shit in your diapers and threw up on your mom’s tits. I too can hate things based solely upon what was produced during the first six months of life. ---

> [@CheeseDonkey](#): > > Fuck the Beatles. They suck. I don’t give two shits if they “inspired generations of music,” the music they created sucks. It was formula bubblegum pop with kindergarten lyrics and whiny-voiced singers. Fuck them all. Especially John. > > Obladi. I mean what the fuck is that noise. > > Fuck Beatles fans. The entire fucking myopic Beatles fandom is obsessed to a degree of absurdity. It’s like a fucking cult. Go smell your own farts you arrogant pieces of shit, I don’t like the Beatles, get over it. Just because you like the Beatles and I don’t doesn’t mean my selection of music and knowledge thereof is insignificant or worthless. Your fucking dismissive attitude towards those who dare not orgasm every time they hear a Beatles song gets really fucking old after a while. Yeah, I don’t like the Beatles - that doesn’t mean I don’t listen to “real music.” Who’s the fucktard who decided the Beatless were real music anyway? > > Fucking Beatles fans. They’re so pathetic, always flipping out when anyone shows anything less than complete adulation for that overmarketed and overhyped band from Liverpool. > > Well that’s that. Good day. Clearly, all you need is love. Could it be anybody? ---

the Beatles were a cult like phenomena (and not in a good way) especially early on. people assigned them godlike qualities. everything they did was totally new, self generated, original and earth shattering (nothing derivative) this cognitive dissonance was maintained even when other people were given song credit on the record labels. people would examine their lyrics as if it was divine scripture with hidden meanings. people went at their lyrics the same way people examine the bible. ---

Come on. _I Wanna Hold Your Hand_ is one of the greatest rock songs everrrrr! Just admit it. Seriously, though, anyone who can get worked up into a tizzy because of someone else’s taste in music has a lot more issues than any of the fanboys have. Chill. Listen to some Oasis if that makes you feel better. ---

Who were attracted to the Beatles when they were active? Screaming fanatical teenage girls. What are screaming fanatical teenage girls attracted to nowadays? Jonas Brothers. Justin Bieber. So basically, The Beatles were nothing more than the Jonas Brothers of the 1960s. It was a band of Justin Biebers. ---
