People Who Hate The Beatles

I've seen websites and heard mean comments about The Beatles all over the web.
I'm going to discuss a few keypoints as to why anyone would *hate* The Beatles so much.

[Here is a lighthearted, critical, almost objectively funny, but half serious point of view on Beatles haters.]

THE REAL REASON:
"I REALLY HATE BEATLES FANS"
"I need to vent my problems on someone, so I blame it on Beatles fans because they 
are one of the most obsessive, passionate people who defend their
pop rock gods to the Tee, baby!"

"THE BEATLES ARE SOOO OVERRATED"
Okay, these guys (or girls) feel like they have sticks up their asses for the reason that *their* favorite band or singer isn't on the same level, heck in the same UNIVERSE as The Beatles are. They feel like they got cheated just because their group's fanbase isn't as crazy and nuts as Beatles fans can be.

"THE BEATLES ARE CRAP. THEY MADE MUSIC? PSH."
 - They never gave listening to The Beatles a real chance. (eg. listening to only the early songs such as I Wanna Hold Your Hand, which may come off as cheesy, stupid, and elementary compared to today's lick my birthday cake, i wanna ride on your horsey horse lyrics of today.)
- They don't understand the creativity of John Lennon. He wrote silly songs such as 1. I Am The Walrus (which may sound stupid to someone who does not embrace outwardly silly songs like this. 2. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (People think it's about freakin' drugs. And drugs are bad for you, right?)
- They despise Paul's silly love songs. They wonder, how in the world could anyone who can write such  simplistic compositions become one of most the successful songwriters/musicians up to date?
- We all live in a Yellow Submarine. Then they stop listening to The Beatles because of that.

"PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID. WHY DO THEY LISTEN TO THIS SHIT?"
- They feel that they're entitled to go against the crowd, because basically anyone who has listened to pop music in the 60s would automatically put The Beatles on their top favorites list.
- They feel threatened by Beatles fans who go nuts over these guys, so they have to be on the defensive mode and just decided to hate their fans and also The Beatles.
- These people think the world revolves around them, and that arguing to fans that Beatles music is shit will make them think otherwise.

"I LIKE TO ANNOY PEOPLE BECAUSE ALL MY FRIENDS LEFT ME ALONE"
- They secretly LOVE The Beatles; These are called closet-fans who admire them, but just want to get a kick out of seeing angry Beatles fans bashing them.
- People with sicknesses that make them obsessed with a particular subject, such as hating on one of the most popular bands to ever exist in Sixties Pop Music.
- Beatles FANATICS who hate the exact thing they're a fan of!

"THE BEATLES ARE MANUFACTURED PIECE OF SHIT"
- Okay, there are people who... just hate stuff. Period. Everything bothers them, even dead pixels on a screen or a speck on on their glasses makes them pissed off and angry at the world. There are people like this.
- They are tired of seeing The Beatles here, there, and everywhere. They are hallucinating. This is part of the opposite of the "Beatlemania high" but they get headaches and if they have schizophrenia, think the world is tearing apart because The Beatles have broken up.

"YOUR INVALID ARGUMENT IS INVALID"
- They make arguments like "Hate on us? Why don't you hate more serious topics like White Power" (which ironically, to some people think The Beatles are white supremacist music, WHICH IRONICALLY to White Nationalists say George & John married non-whites, and Paul recently marrying a "Jew" or two, thus making the argument invalid.)
- Well, the true argument is, why hate on The Beatles? Why not hate on wars, violence, and famine instead? Are you that bored to hate on... music? Popular or not? Hating The Beatles makes their fans love The Beatles even more, and makes you look stupid on wasting your time on something you hate.

"BECAUSE I CAN'T GET LAID"
- Yes, some people are just jealous their girlfriend or boyfriends are too enamored by John Lennon or Paul McCartney, or George Harrison, or maybe even Ringo Starr. Well, if they're gay, Brian Epstein. This makes them angry to the bone making their blood boil to never amount to something so beautiful as they were. You can compare this to girls who get jealous of the girls in porn that their boyfriends watch.
- Boo hoo my girlfriend masturbates to John and sometimes to Paul, and my 14 yr old girlfriend writes Beatle slash whatever that means and giggles at it. I can never have beautiful eyes like Paul or rock the Beatles moptop, I can never get as much hoes as George did, and I can't ever be a lucky ass drummer as Ringo was. Wah. wah.

"AND IN THE END..."
Then there are those who just plainly don't like The Beatles, for whatever reason. It may not be their taste, or maybe they haven't experienced the introduction to how wonderful loving this band could be.

Okay, this is getting off base a bit, but if you've ever broken up with a girlfriend or boyfriend, it ruins every love song there is. :) Deal with it. All You Need is Love!


Thanks for reading... Gotta listen to some Eight Days A Week now! :D


Beatles Hater's Favorite Song: Hello Goodbye

Who Is A Better Songwriter? Lennon or McCartney?

Excuse me, but

Are you asking me if one of two different people are better than each other? Is there a Universal Answer to your question? Are you lowering their standards? Please re-phrase the question into something more clearer like,

Who do you think is a better songwriter?

If you really want to know who is better, try asking yourself, "Which is the better color? Red or Blue?" or "Which number is better? 4 or 5?" or "Who is better at being smart? Me or you?"

Yes, I'm tired of thoughtless questions, especially if they're given at interviews, and the person is stuck with answering the question.

~*~*~*~

Anyway, my answer would be: They both wrote good songs. They both helped each other out. Songs that The Beatles wrote and created will be far more BETTER than any other songs written out there. Truthfully, this would be generally (& personally) accepted because not many times "in my life" have I been told that they should have changed a lyric here or there to "make it better."

Something Wrong With Liking The Beatles Too Much??

I have been troubled with people telling me that there is more to life than just The Beatles.

Oh, like what?

As if the thought is going to help me out in liking The Beatles less, and obsess over something else.

Why change me?
Why change who I am?
I love The Beatles, and that's it.

THE BEATLES CHANGED MY LIFE, GODDAMMIT.

Personalities of Beatles Fans by Each Beatle

Paul fans: The most friendliest and loving of all fans. I have never known a Paul fan who lashed out in anger about something. They always mended it to make it better. Though some can be troubled.. (Friend of mine said Paul fans are melancholy and "fucked up" or in other words, "depressed romantics").

John fans: Can be either really calm or spiteful. I know this because I've known them. They try to be as witty as John making quick funny remarks, talk about how peace should affect the world, or they become cynical and hate the world, and everybody else. They can also be seclusive).

George fans: This is a toughie. George fans are a weird bunch. To me, they are. They tend to have strong crushes/fandom with other personalities, or movies/music/books/tv as well. Ones who are strongly obsessed even come to realize that they want to be part of the Hare Krishna movement as well. They always point out how George was overlooked, and they try to prove how great George was and is to them.

Ringo fans: There are not much of them but these fans are very laid-back people. Some can be wacky, wild, but fun.

Why did The Beatles Break Up?

In simple reasons,

* Financial problems. The Beatles brought it in by hiring... Allen Klein as their manager. How about that? He fucked up a lot of shit.

* They got tired of each other. The band was falling apart, and they knew it. No more cute boy band. They were growing up. They needed to be with their wives, and not with each other. It was time for them to hit puberty, and they did. Face it, their egos were getting too big to fit in one room. Heck, if it wasn't for Ringo's nose and their big egos, they probably couldn't even fit Yoko in.

* No, it wasn't all Yoko's fault. All that Yoko DID do was be with John. Beatles fans no likey that. Beatles fans don't want scary-looking hideous ear-piercing shrieking Asian chick to be with their beloved Beatle John. You know what? Blame John, for all I know. Why was anyone afraid to kick her out? If she didn't stay, then John wouldn't either? Think about it.
~YOKO FUCKED UP THE BEATLES.
~YOKO FUCKED WITH JOHN.
~YOKO FUCKING RULES.
and
~YOKO IS THE MOST HATED PERSON IN THE BEATLES CIRCLE.

But do you really think that a woman who was invited by John and asked her to stay with him during the sessions really broke them up? Did she just come up to them and say "Hey, 4 fools, let me stay here, and break you up, so all The Beatles fans will hate me forever! Muahaha."


CONCLUSION:

Remember and look at these words: The Beatles Broke Themselves Up
They did not WANT to be together, so they broke up. Simple. Period.


We all want someone to blame, but don't blame the innocents. Look at the whole story first and try to pull out the truths. As Celia said, "it was a group effort". The Beatles were in divorce.

Dissection of the Beatles Fans in Groups

So, I was thinking: Are there different types of Beatles fans? By George, what do you mean!

Yes, there are different types. As I have said, I think there might be 3 kinds. Let me explain it to you.

  1. One-time Beatles fan. This b.f. may like The Beatles just one time in their lifetime, maybe like them again in the future, but, that's it.
  2. Beatles fan who does anything Beatley just because The Beatles are a fine group!
  3. Beatles fans who are extremely, to the core, (Apple Core), obsessed who call themselves "Apple Scruffs", "Beatles Lovers", or "John" themselves. (Far more dangerous and rare).

The One-Time Beatles fan.
To me, I think this Beatles fan may have been either 2 or 3 a big-time fan in their lifetime, but then they into other stuff -- like for example: liking different bands, just not interested in them anymore, or they got a life and just have no time to obsess or like a band anymore.

The Beatles Follower..
This can be the friendly type of Beatles fan. They will share what they know, and will accept what you know. They are everywhere and will attend Beatles Fests, Beatles Events, Beatles Showings. Anyone can fit into this category. (But remember - just liking one song doesn't make you an automatic "fan".)

The Beatles Obsessor:
This type may be far more dangerous than any other type. Why, do you ask? This person may think he or she IS the re-incarnation of John, or thinks that the group they will make will be bigger THAN THE BEATLES. (Not pointing to Oasis... or am I?) Also, you may notice that this person has made most nearly thousands of Beatley landmarks or herself or himself on the web. eg. making fansites, stating their love for The Beatles everywhere, commenting on any Beatley blogpost there is. This person may also be a nuisance for sharing their knowledge of all things Beatles. They will attend to as most Beatley events as they can, friend anyone who's a Beatles fan, and will buy, post, do anything Beatles-wise. This is me, or partly.

Who may you be? 1, 2, or 3? Or do you fit in between one of these categories? You may choose your pick on the comment box below or disagree with me, if you'd like. Quench my thirst with your knowledge!
