A cultural phenomenon of the 20th century in the form of a band that arose to prominence due to the fact that the preexisting music scene left much to be desired.
Some of the earlier Beatles tracks have not aged all that well, but they had an enormous impact on youth culture and some of their tracks endure today as timeless classics. They are often hyped as SIMPLY THE BEST thing in the history of the universe, much like the music equivalent of Breaking Bad, as a result modern young people end up viewing their music as somewhat overrated due to the absence of the mystique and cultural context that surrounded its release.
Two of them are no longer alive, one narrates Thomas the Tank Engine and the other is Paul McCartney

A band that wasn't as good as other bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Rolling Stones, The Police, Blind Melon, and more.
Guy 1: "Hey, The Beatles are the best band ever!"
Guy 2: "Eh, they're alright. There are many better bands."

By far the most massively overrated band on the planet, there I said it, and if you don't agree I could honestly care less.
Everybody says The Beatles are "influential" and that they rEvOlUtIoNiZeD rock music, but honestly I don't see what makes them so different from everyone else, they're basically a 1960s version of 1D .
If you ask me, their singing isn't that great, their lyrics are lowsey and there is nothing unique about any of their songs or albums. Yes they threw in elements of pop, rock, folk music, and blues into their music, but that's about it.
Also, John Lennon was a dick, he abused his wife and kid, cheated on her, and left both of them. Dude was a total piece of shit.
Overall I just don't see the hype in these guys or why people are so obsessed with them. But idk maybe that's just me. The fact that their stans have to defend them basically just proves how severely overrated they are.

Beatles Stan: The Beatles are the best band ever, there is no one else like them!!
Me: eh, I don't know I'm not exactly it into them, I think they're overhyped tbh.
Beatles Stan: You just don't know what good music is! How could you possibly say something like that?!
Me: Woah chill, all I did was give my opinion, Jesus christ...

The Beatles were an English Rock band formed in Liverpool, in 1960. They are popularly known by rock fans, and many rock fans either feel pressured to believe they are the best, or fool themselves into thinking this. There have been more detrimental rock bands, but they do not have nearly the impact the Beatles have because of the fans of the Beatles.

The divine pantheon of all things Hippie.
Consists of:
- John Lennon: the God of Social Commentary and Hard Drugs
- Paul McCartney: God of Vegetarianism and Strawberries
- George Harrison: the God of Meditation and Sunshine
- Ringo Starr: the God of Peace, Love and Sentient Locomotives
According to the Ancient Hippie Mythology, John Lennon hatched from an egg laid by the Walrus, and guitared the rest of the universe into existence. In an eternal strawberry field, he watered a stereo-box for number-nine days and number-nine nights, until the stereo box hatched, and out climbed Paul McCartney. George Harrison was likewise formed from a drop of sun. But the Band longed for a bloody good drummer. Then, an octopus laid an egg that was hatched under a steam engine, and Ringo Starr was born.
Devout followers of Beatlemania will be rewarded in the afterlife, ferried by Mr. Conductor to the Yellow Submarine, which will take them to their eternal home of Pepperland. Sinners, however, will be rounded up by th *other* Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin) and shipped off to the sh*tty TV cartoon's universe to spend eternity in agony.
