"the beatles are overrated" is just one of those phrases people love to say like they invented it

i've got an axe or two to grind against the beatles as well. "beatlemania" represents a larger trend in pop culture that i think we would be better with out. truly no artist that commands as much respect as the beatles could ever be accurately rated, no matter how qualified their output is. it's disgusting that john lennon's fame has practically exonerated him from a history of domestic abuse. i could go on. but "everyone has been hypnotized into enjoying music that isn't even good" is such a bizarre criticism, and claims that their work is generic only really work for me in context of their imitators.

i get it though. when i meet an uncritical ride-or-die fan of a brand i get a knee-jerk temptation to get a rise out of them too. and god knows the beatles have those in droves.
