i can’t explain why but this makes me ill
#like i feel a legit knot in my stomach
#tbh i’m not like the biggest beatles fan anymore but
#it’s crazy to me how the band that did so much to open the cultural and musical worlds to people
#and who used their status at the top of the world to genuinely push music forward and inspired countless acts
#will be dethroned by someone who [while i won’t say is untalented but i personally struggle to find the good lyricist singer dancer or
#performer or musican in] by all accounts is just a business tbh
#like there’s nothing for music its all for charts accolades and money and that’s horrifying to think that someone can get this far with that
#being the biggest goal.
#that’s like sending 2010 mick jagger into the 60s and getting him to make the rolling stones popular
#like businessman ≠ artist
#you have to have an actual talent or reason for popularity to become popular and i see none of that
#there’s no progression for anyone but her: the beatles pushed music stones pushed culture michael jackson pushed desegregation of popular
#music
#and she has…. ?
#just looking for something she’s truly accomplished other than beating records because that’s all it seems to be
#and she has no humanitarian reason for fame either
#elton john was a huge star and remained a huge star not due to his musical output or breaking records but because he’s dedicated so much
#time and money to causes greater than himself
#he didn’t need to beat the beatles to carve his own place out in history
#no one should have to beat them to that
#their impact should be felt in ways that make it hard to think of a culture without them
#because as it stands she’ll be seen as the chick that beat the beatles
#never once used as a marker herself
#it will still be them because they will remain important to culture and music
#just as they would be without setting records
#hell look at bob dylan
#he has like 0 chart records and was given a nobel prize and will continue to be the marker for lyrical excellence
#it just makes me so mad that the person who will beat all these records is doing it just to beat records tbh
#it’s not deserved or even slightly important
#it’s just a record to beat which SUCKS anyways i talked too long but im mad so :/
