i think as time goes on itll be easier to like the beatles as long as we keep up the trend of younger people not liking them.
#do you know how much easier itd be to accept that they made good music and innovated quite a bit
#if i wasnt constantly having them shoved down my throat as THE MOST IMPORTANT BAND TO EVER EXIST
#idk from my perspective... they were active in the 60s bro if they didnt exist someone else would have made those same innovations
#other people around them were innovating all over the place
#and the entire british invasion (which wasnt even just them!!) was built on the forward thinking of black american artists in the 50s
#so like. yeah if the beatles didnt exist music history probably wouldnt have been that crazy different
#like youre telling me NOBODY else. IN THE 60S. would have made the same steps forward that the beatles did?
#like you really think john was this magical being gifted with creativity that invented all these ideas out of thin air???
#no. their innovations were because they were active during THE decade of experimenting and making new moves in pop & rock.
#people around them were inventing whole new genres and recording styles too smh anyway. its just so annoying.
#they were just the most popular and one of the more active groups at the time so a lot of changes were credited to them
#(even some of the ones that they didn't actually come up with.)
#avpost
#anyway. that's my rant. also they didn't even get good until bob dylan taught them to smoke weed.
#i also alluded to it before but i don't think the 60s were such a time of innovation bc of them either. tired of that narrative
#the beatles were not the only new band doing wildly different things in 1963 the stones crossed over at the exact same time
#followed very closely by a lot of other uk bands.
#plus like i said these bands were only so different bc they grew up loving black american artists' music .
#so... that's the group that was actually innovating. the uk bands wereinspired by THEM. where's their flowers.
#and there was tons of evolution in music during the 60s that had fuck all to do with the Beatles or rock at all.
#*gestures aggressively to the invention of soul. which affected any and all pop music that came after it*
#ive seen it argued that the supremes deserve just as much credit as the beatles do
#but as a diehard supremes fan ill keep my opinion on that to myself since im . VERY biased.
