Serious The contrast between ‘beatlemania’ and ‘bieber fever’ perfectly encapsulates society’s decline from substance to superficiality.

I find it strange that the Beatles were teen sex symbols in the ‘60s. It seems utterly inconceivable now that 4 guys ranging from average to incel tier could captivate the romantic minds of so many of world’s teenage girls, especially given the current climate.

Then you realise it is all to do with the substantive quality of the art they produced, their lyrics were profound and endearing and that’s what drew people to them.

Nowadays the market has condensed every commodity to it’s most base and lucrative form. Lyrics are cookie-cutter repetitions of generic cultural tropes and image is plastic, over processed garbage (come to think of it his music actually fits that description as well).

Girls used to scream with excitement so much they’d faint when the Beatles came on stage. Now they do the same with Bieber, as time has gone on we have become less patient and modern pop stars have become an oversaturated archetype, a parody of what they once were, designed to tap into that part of a teen’s brain that can earn media companies money.

You may be giving the Beatles and their female fans too much credit.

Nowadays it's plastic trannies from K-pop, I don't get it why so many young girls find them "attractive"

 

[VisVoi]

I wouldn't say the Beatles' lyrics were profound, however their music was innovative.

Not too difficult to be innovative back then though.

What I've always found weirder is why they fell for this guy:

If your prime concern is to create something "innovative", you will always fail.

It's all marketing boyo.

When I was a kid I liked the Beatles, then I grew up and realized Asian music is the best.

I just saw this video. If you are not a Pretty Boy Pop Star it's game over! No prime virgin pussy for you!

He would probably be posting here if he was born 50 years later tbh.

foids do the same with ugly celebrities like ed sheeran now as well. status halo actually makes foids percieve an ugly person to look better and provokes more sexual arousal out them(proven by statistics).

Status > Looks confirmed?

Status > Looks confirmed?

nah i still think looks is king. put a no name gigachad(juxtaposition but whatever) next to ed sheeran and most foids will flock to the gigachad. however status is very good at redeeming uglies. not just celebrity status, it could be being popular in school or a criminal(foids are attracted to thug esque status).

it goes looks > status >>> money IMO.

Now they do the same with Bieber,

2008 was ten years ago, buddy.

I guess you’re right. I just consider it profound on the level that it so perfectly tapped into and coincided with sexually liberated public consciousness, which is quite an interesting and unprecedented thing if you think about it.

2008 was ten years ago, buddy.

Of course, you know what I mean though, be it him, one direction or whoever else the principle still stands.

Except Beatlemania started with stuff like a cover of “Twist and Shout” and “Love Me Do” which were very basic. As my uncle told me, you had simps like Neil Sedaka on the charts so the Beatles were refreshing in comparison.

You’re right it was, but it was an innovative new style of music that mirrored the public cultural shift away from traditionalism in a way that hadn’t been seen before.

there was a member of the beatles that was kicked out because he was good-looking and stealing all of the girls, supposedly.

[Redpill Robert]

I like The Beatles and all but it really isn't like they were musical geniuses or anything.
