I know what you mean. Post-Waters Pink Floyd fans are even worse. Don't get me started on the mono crowd.
Yes, I think the stereotype, over time, is nearly inconsequential. As those folks will all soon be dead, so do not curse the dead, for we all get our turn on that wheel, whether we want it or not. Their celebration is a moment in time, it is a simply a quirk of human psychology for group, in time, in the general population behavioral sense. Nothing new under the sun. 20 years from now we might get the Kanye is king crew to be more prominent, if such a grouping exists. Beatles fans are the last echo of a dying group like WWII veterans a few decades back. If you try hard enough you too can eventually be an aged echo of a moment in time in fanaticism. Like LP's or class AB solid state amps, or gasoline vehicles, or early Tesla cars, or...or... |

It's not listening to the same old thing over and over again, it's listening to well written songs that stand the test of time. Do you think all classical music is bad too because most of it was written a long time ago? A lot of the new rock and pop music is boring to me. I don't feel any emotional connection to it. On most Beatle albums, every song was good, so you enjoyed the whole thing. Now, I might find one or two good songs on an album so I might download them, but I would never buy the album. That's the difference today. Most people download songs so the whole album doesn't have to be good. By the way, it's Paul McCartney, one of the best songwriters of all time. He knows how to blend the verse, with the chorus, and the bridge, so one part flows beautifully in to the next. Good songwriting consistently is not easy. There are many examples of people that can do it, Billy Joel, Elton John, Beck, and members of the Eagles are just some examples. I'm open to new music and may different types of music, but it has to be good. |
