40+ years of people obsessing over them, when they're really not that good. All of their songs follow the same formula and are overplayed. Plus kids think they're so special and unique if they say they like The Beatles.

Get the The Beatles mug.The Beatles Fallacy is the hegemonic misconception among hack musicologists that the British Rock band The Beatles were "revolutionary" or "groundbreaking" in the history of music, ignoring earlier rock and roll, garage, and politically relevant songwriting; the Beatles are mistakenly assumed to have invented or been the "most influential" in the myriad styles they performed, despite the existence of contemporaries like The Rolling Stones, The Sonics, etc., and the pre-existence of like way harder albums than Revolver.
NOTE: The Beatles Fallacy is related to the misconception that Rock and Roll prior to 1960 was all hokey crap, and is the bastard stepchild of the Elvis Hypothesis, crediting "The King" with the invention of Rock and Roll, thereby ignoring shit black people had been doing for like 10 years.
