>played their own intruments
>wrote their own songs
>truly played live music
>never even danced
Yeah, well, by that logic Metallica was also a boy band, or any other band with males.

Maybe so but no solo ex-boy band member since then has had the same level of creativity and respect as each individual Beatle has had.

you are in middle school, shouldnt you be in bed OP

they were basically a boy band but they became a great band anyway

You forgot
>almost all their songs are about a girl
OMG HE'S SINGING ABOUT ME

>they were basically a boy band
Quite the opposite. They were the antithesis of the Brill Building era boy bands. They actually ended that era by being everything a boy band wasn't; they were rowdy, original, with very little censorship of their work. To us they aren't. But at the time they were something new.

so they were a novel and original take on the boy band is what you're saying

they were like their day's equivalent of BTS. popular internationally due to crafted marketing campaign

explain

Jonas Brothers. They play their own instruments.

Nah. They were a genuine group formed initially without that stuff involved. To claim they were a boy band is just plain wrong.

this was a really edgy opinion back in 2011

>I have heard literally no Beatles songs except I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Hey Jude

Disliking The Beatles doesn't make you more interesting, user.

lmao sid viscious couldn't even actually play bass
meanwhile paul mccartney is one of the best bassists of all time

If you didn't listen to almost the entire Beatles discography in your youth you have no real valid opinion on them. There's very, very good, and mediocre.

do you mean mediocre at their instruments or mediocre as in 'Honey Pie'

Nah. They were a real rock n' roll band that got a smart (also gay and Jewish) manager. He made them stop swearing and acting like pricks on stage, marketed the fuck out of them and made them wear matching suits. At the time you couldn't get into most venues wearing the Beatles leather jackets but more importantly, because he was gay and Jewish, he kinda knew what pre-teen girls wanted their boys to look like and how to market the fuck out of that.

That's about it though as far as the Beatles being a commercial product created by a Svengali manager goes. They already had the haircuts and the shoes. Brian Epstein just got stopped them swearing on stage and gave them suits. The rest was them.

Some boring tunes surrounded by groundbreaking, light years ahead of their time shit

Paul looks like a nerdy british kid in this photo lmao

i hear u

Doesnt have to be explained since its simply as fuck
>be producer
>make band have an specific aesthetic
>shill them to death and tell everyone how hip and trendy they are
>have them sing shit about girls and love
Thats it
After a while they actually thought they were real artists and the marketing campaign was so strong plebs believe it to this day,very funny

Shit I wrote that so badly I really need to stop my bad habits

The background music makes this video.

Honey Pie is top tier you no-taste scum.

>The Beatles are [insert currently popular group of the month here] of their time

How long have people been saying this?

No Beatles songs are good let alone top-tier you absolute pleb.

Where do you fucking turbohipsters keep coming from?

Epstein was also smart enough to put the Beatles' likeness on every product imaginable, creating a consumer frenzy among teenagers

You mean Glen Matlock wrote all the Pistols songs.

>meanwhile paul mccartney is one of the best bassists of all time
As much as I love both The Beatles and McCartney, no, he's mediocre at best. Good songwriter though.

holy fucking shit just look at ringo's nose, IT'S FUCKING ENORMOUS

big nose, big dick

Dude, the Beatles were probably one of the best bands ever. They changed the music scene by a lot and people, like you, only hate them because they wanna be contrarian. It's kinda retarded how in denial you guys are.
