Why were so many people obsessed with 60s one direction?
70 million people watched this live
There wasn't much else on at the time, not even Simpsons reruns.
Heres the thing, the beatles actually changed their sound, one direction didn't.
and a few years later, several million more than that tuned in for the finale of tv series, the fugitive. your thread provides no context for the times. you’re a spergtard. i will make beatles threads every day until the end of the site to spite you
Kennedy got shot and the whole country was bummed. Beatles cheered everyone up.
There were actual boy bands in the 60s. The Brit Invasion was another thing.
The fact that I have to tell you even about JFK and teach you basic rock history 101 tells me you're some kind of pajeet or filipino and you shouldn't even be speaking English. Completely missed the entire trajectory of the West and the 60s culture shift in particular. You're one of these streetshitters who just speaks our language, but don't belong here.
What’s with the xenophobia boomer?
Kill yourself you fucking paid faggot. You and your she-boon coworkers. Useless faggot.
All you need is love dickhead
I'm not a boomer. I simply have cultural memory via osmosis. Something streetshitters will never get. That's my point. They just speak our language and parrot some shit, but don't belong or understand the air they breathe. They're too insular even when they move here and too busy huffing curry.
Most Americans are immigrants you prat
The last big wave of immigrants adapted and wanted to be Americans and happily downloaded Western history. They loved it.
My great great great grandpa was an immigrant. He was a Danish sailor whose ship docked at New Orleans and he went AWOL. Wandered the country, rode trains like a hobo, found a girl, built a farm and eventually a name for himself. He was a fucking cowboy and lived up to the American Spirit even when he wasn't American. There are very few immigrants like this anymore. They all insist on themselves instead.
Most immigrants actually respect this place.
Poopoos and pinoys just hate their own shitholes more.
Most had like 1 tv station in the 60s
Just about every immigrant had a version of Polka. But when they came here, they stopped playing Polka and became cool. While Arabs, some Asians, Indians, and some Mexicans keep playing their versions of Polka and hoping they squirt enough babies that they just force Polka all across the West. They'll never be cool Westerners or learn even the first on how to be - because they don't want to be. It's just All Polka All the Time. They don't adapt to anything, they don't understand or care even about mere decades before them (let alone a century or more), some don't even bother to learn the language (but I won't hold that one against OP).
Forget about music. I can't even reference basic shit with them. Like what school pizza used to be or local skating spots. Expecting them to understand who the fuck the Beatles were and what they meant is too much.
polka? school pizza?
Anon Babble really is daycare for early onset dementia boomers
you must have been really lost when it went offline
I told you I wasn't a boomer, retard. I didn't grow up in the 60s. I simply learned their significance because I'm part of the culture here. The average little kid growing up natively knows the Beatles and Woodstock and all the changes in the 60s and all that shit. For you to think this "boy band" thing makes sense, you're just announcing you're some kind of streetshitter who didn't even go to public school here probably.
No, you’re just an old head dickhead. Most zoomers actually don’t know shit about Woodstock or the Beatles either, it’s seen as oldies music. Their parents grew up on gen x stadium rock
There you go again. You don't even get the rock references right. Fucking streetshitter. Stadium rock as it was usually known already dwindled in the 90s. 80s was more stadium rock heavy and they were the last wave of actual boomers. Gen X kids weren't playing stadium rock. Except maybe Pearl Jam.
I see the same thing with vidya discussions on this site. More and more it's just full of streetshitters trying to enter conversations and don't even know how to reference the same games or grew up exploring the same things everyone else knows. Half of you sound like you just got the internet in the 2010s or something.
I know plenty of Mexicans who like to rock. It's mostly just Indians who can't get a grip.
Well, yeah. I had to stop myself and say "some" Mexicans.
What an utterly bizarre theme to build an anti-immigration rant around
I don’t really understand the racism, you know if you talk to most zoomers then they have just as much knowledge. It’s like me claiming you’re not white cause you don’t know shit about music from the 1930’s or something, bro it was way before I was born. Why the fuck would I care
There was quite literally nothing else to do
It was the very beginning of television psyops.
Sphongle knows how to make polka cool:
The Beatles had some great marketing they dressed like respectable gents for TV but they had to be at least a little non conformist to appeal to the kids. So they grew their hair longer than was the style at the time to piss off the squares.
this is klezmer retard
and even more people watched the All You Need is Love broadcast
Because they were the first to make real listenable music.
Look up the songs from the 50s into the 60s and it’s like they created fire/color from black and white. m.youtube.com
so true sis
there were only three channels on tv. it was either watch that or go read a book
I don't think pajjets or flips care about the beatles. not enough to make threads anyway.
Beatles defenders usually say something like about how they "invented every modern genre", which even if that were true is a retarded reason to put something in particularly high standing. Helter Skelter may have been a proto-hard rock/"metal" song, but there have been thousands to millions of that genre that's come out since significantly better.
Being the first deserves recognition, not necessarily respect....
they don't care about Anon Babble either, India isn't even in the top 50 countries visiting the site
they dressed like respectable gents for TV
Retard that was the standard for musicians. Just watch any rock band playing live from around that era of the first half of the 60s
No matter how much Anon Babble seethe about them. At the end of the day they have accomplished musicians constantly praising them
Back again, are we?
YOU HAVE BACK UP!
I don't know what you're talking about when you talk about birds, or a book from The Old Testament, but you mentioned JFK, so here's a meme, just for you....
Everybody in The U.S. had at least three.
Can you explain this?
Mexicans ARE Westerners.
Mexico is the FIRST country south of The United States!
Most Mexican I know personally love heavy metal and punk rock.
Plus there are a lot of good punk and metal bands out of Mexico, but most of them sing in Spanish, so you wouldn't understand the lyrics, but they still rock just as hard as their English singing counterparts.
women are fanatical.
Oh, The Filipinos cared enough about The Beatles to try to physically ATTACK them when they were in The Philippines in 1966, after refusing an invitation to The Presidential Palace extended by Imelda Marcos.
Why don't YOU explain it, since you're the one who probably posted it.
But, hey, thanks for using one of my memes.
I love it when people waste their precious time, just to pay attention to me.
Who do I call to clean out all the cobwebs inside your skull?
If I'm going to live in your head, I'd like it to be neat and clean, please.....
