What does it mean to be an Elvis person or a Beatles person?
The dialogue in Pulp Fiction makes no sense.

inbred elvis fag detected
elvis represented the wild, Dionysian lifestyle. the beatles eventually became the safe, Apollonian stereotype.
then elvis died on the toilet, the beatles took drugs and grew beards and the metaphor broke down.

Beatles are so fucking overrated

This.
Fuck the Beatles
>>63242935
have you ever actually given their discography a chance or did you hear the same five songs on the radio and dismissed them?
A Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine are literally films
>>63243339
Not that guy.
It's old generic pop music.
Hipsters 50 years from now will probably revere Nikki Minaj the same way you do with the Beatles.
Elvis, on the other hand, actually has some soul in it.
>>63243459
Only the early stuff is very pop-ish. Later in the career got a lot more experimental and deep.
V A P O R W A V E
>>63243459
true of the first 3 or 4 albums but after you're pretty wrong
plus you're already wrong there have been plenty of pop artists of the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s that have already fallen to complete obscurity while beatles continue to sell and be discussed. Shit were having this conversation now
>>63243459
This might be one of the stupider things I ever read. Elvis, a poster boy with zero musical talent, is supposed to have more "soul" in the generic pop music that has been written for him throughout his entire career than the Beatles?
That is just not true and proves your ignorance to the Beatles discography.
Most who complain about the Beatles being "terribly overrated" have not listened to any of their 1965-70 albums.
That's not to say that their early albums aren't great, too, it's just that it was indeed pretty generic Rock & Roll.

Hahaha, holy shit, mad hipsterfags are mad.
>>63243716
The Beatles and Elvis are different genres. Can't really compare them.
>>63243716
>DUDE YOU JUST HAVEN'T LISTENED TO THEM ENOUGH
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.
>>63243749
You can if you're doing it under the pretence that the world consists of Beatles and Elvis people.
>>63243716
Hahahaha LOL ROFL, TRIGGERED THE HIPSTERS.

>hipsters
I don't get this meme. theyre one of the biggest pop bands of all time. the very definition of mainstream and dadrock, if anything its hipsters who call them overrated.
Unless you're comparing people who like the beatles to people who like taylor swift, disturbed, or linkin park than yeah beatles fans are hipsters compared to them.
>>63243762
I think its a pretty valid argument.
If someone was like "X movie is overrated" but they haven't watched it they would be pretty retarded
>>63243855

It doesn't mean anything.

Then why is he bigger than the Beatles when the Beatles had 4 permanent members and Elvis was 1 man?
Checkmate, faggot.

You had Yoko Ono commissioned to make you a dildo based on John Lennon's cock, didn't you?
>Most who complain about the Beatles being "terribly overrated" have not listened to any of their 1965-70 albums.
Okay, tell me what was so fucking different about them then.
>That's not to say that their early albums aren't great, too, it's just that it was indeed pretty generic Rock & Roll

I think you've just exposed yourself, anon.
What are the odds that you just love generic shit and you're parroting the hipsters you surround yourself with?
I'd put money on it.

Not him but their mid to later albums started to veer from bubblegum/rock and began incorporating other genres including psychedelic, progressive, classical, indian classical, ska, folk, and blues influences to create a pretty unique sound but never losing their identity. Their song structures and lyrics also became more refined and complex

Hi, Reddit!

Hang on for a few more minutesby which I mean hours, and I'll explain a few things to you; about life and such.
>>63242899
Beach Boys past Pet Sounds are literally an unironically GOAT and surpass the Beatles. The Beatles made WAY better pop music than The Beach Boys but The Beatles never released anything on par with Surfs Up.

In other words they feared their fans would get bored and became desperate to spice up the act but ultimately failed
Two sides of the whitewashed rock n roll coin.
Elvis side represents the lone wolf, good ol' boy rebel.
Beatles side represents the subversive counter culture.

>>63251396
Site your sources, faggot.
In fact, I'll give you one of my own - in Johnny Cash's autobiography, he said Elvis (whom he had toured with) was one of the best guitar players he'd ever seen.
He was just simply better in every way than your precious weird-looking, effeminate faggots and that intimidates you.
Just admit it, senpai.

No, you didn't.
You read the rest of the sentence too, because without it there would be no context and thus no way to know that it was a mistake, so stop lying, fucknugget.
Early sixties vs. later sixties. Biggest cultural change this country has seen in the smallest amount of time.
