Dont worry, youll be one of those guys soon enough
I will? Cool!
I don’t hate them. I just don’t listen to their music. It’s not my taste. I do appreciate their significance and popularity, though. I just don’t really enjoy their music.
Same judging jug faces, in my experience. Not liking the Beatles is unfathomable to a lot of people.
It should be fathomable to those people. We are human and have different interests.
Why do you think someone would go to the trouble of drilling 2 extra holes in each of these containers?
That’s a good question! I am also interested.
My first thought was that it might aid in draining them as an air hole, to stop it from going glub blub, especially if they contained something really viscous like honey or oil, but then why not just one air hole, and why not higher up?
My second thought was that maybe someone just intended to make them look like faces for some reason.
I’m going for b)
in/out hydroponic pipe feeds and the original hole to top it up? But there’s a lot of them.
I am a middle aged white guy and I honestly don’t give a shit about the Beatles lol
They have maybe 4 or 5 songs I actually like and I’ve always said they were overrated
How about beetles? Wanna discuss beetles?
Yeah, I’m still pissed they made bumblebee a Camaro.
Me too!
Hating any music is weird, as hate takes vastly more effort than indifference.
Hating specifically anything of comparable acclaim as the Beatles is, frankly, just contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism.
If you didn’t like them you just wouldn’t like them, but what you actually like is not liking them as a factor of your personality.
Did you just suggest that anyone who claims to dislike the Beatles is lying just to be difficult? Believe it or not it is actually possible to dislike things, even critically acclaimed popular things, beyond the point of indifference. Honestly your statement is what sounds like pure contrarianism meant to stir up drama lol
No, I’m claiming hating the Beatles is a choice. Hate is active. People who dislike things don’t waste their time thinking about how much they dislike them and telling people proudly how much they dislike them, they just move on.
In fact, I’m pretty luke-warm on the Beatles as a whole (though I can certainly appreciate their songwriting and understand their massive popularity). The point is hatred is its own kind of fandom, as both camps center around the thing. I don’t bring up the Beatles because I don’t have many opinions on them; that’s vastly more passive than this person proudly declaring their dislike for Popular Thing™
Doing literally anything besides just existing and breathing the air each day is “a choice”. That doesn’t mean people only do things just to annoy you…
disliking =/= hating
i dislike most rap music, which means i don’t actively look for that genre of music to listen to it, but i won’t burst into flames if a friend of mine puts some rap in the queue at the party, and i won’t complain about it (unless they’ve been hogging the queue with non stop 3h of rap, then i will complain)
i hate dishonesty and manipulation, if i spot it i’ll instantly feel a surge of intense negative emotions and a strong repulsion to whoever was dishonest or manipulative (relative to the offence of course, lying about eating the snack i was saving vs lying about idk being faithful don’t prompt the same reaction)
i don’t think you can really hate any genre of music or particular band, as the other person said, proclaiming yourself a “hater” of a popular genre or group is just contrarianism for contrarianism’s sake, 5 years down the line it’ll stop being cool to hate on that music and that’s when you stop “hating” them
It’s possible to hate something without being active about it. Saying “I hate lima beans” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going on a hate campaign against lima beans, it just means you have a strong distaste for them. It’s a valid feeling regardless of how many others love lima beans. In fact, lots of other people loving something and talking about it nonstop and calling it the best thing ever will obviously mean someone who hates that thing will get annoyed hearing about something they hate, so it’s fine to express that distaste.
My guy, are we just going to entirely ignore the context of this literally being a comment in a “look at me I’m so different for not liking the Beatles” post? Yeah, what you’re saying may be true, but we’re talking about somebody who literally is making a campaign out of their disdain. Context and nuance people, Jesus Christ.
How is that any worse than making a post saying “I love the Beatles”? In fact, the post is getting proven correct where a simple singular post attracts so many responses.

Yes, I agree. As I said here 10 hours ago:
The point is hatred is its own kind of fandom, as both camps center around the thing.
My point is that they are the same thing, and thus methinks the lady doth protest too much.
The Beatles are so ubiquitous and generally acclaimed though, you don’t really have to go out of your way to encounter their music or artifice of their cultural legacy. If people always want to argue with you about it, or are obstinate when you would like to listen to something else? Then I can see pretty easily how someone’s distaste for them could grow over time until they would describe it as hate.
Why hate them? What did they do to you?
Beetles are a shitpost
Change my mind
Fucked their mom
Calm down Julian.
Hate the Beatles all you want. You just can’t hate the Stones.
I’ll bet there are more stones than species of beetle
Types of stone or instances of stone?
Individual stones
Ok, let’s start counting.
I’ll take the left side, you go right. We’ll meet in the middle. Go!
Ok, I’m done. I counted 4.
Maybe try again? I’ve found 456,734 so far.
The stones still do shows. The Beatles do not.
OPs got the wrong generation. I’m middle aged I fucking hate Beatles. It was my parents music. Boomer music.
I would like to present a counter argument: maybe the middle aged white men represented by multiethnic cans in this meme are coming out to agree!
I appreciate how o no banana committed to saving the beetles.
100%
I don’t hate the Beatles, but I do think they’re extremely overrated. There’s about three Beatles songs I’d choose to listen to.
Sargent pepper’s lonely hearts club band is the second worst song to ever get significant airplay, behind I shot the sheriff, and ahead of You’re Beautiful by James Blunt. That one I stand firm on.
Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band is an intro to an album. It isn’t meant to be played as a standalone song. I have never once listened to the intro track and thought, “Ooh, this is fantastic. One of the greats from the Beatles.” It set the stage for the band to throw away the image the world expected of them as the so called “fab 4” and explore sound while pretending to be people they weren’t.
What you have said here is like watching the opening theme to a television show and then throwing your hands up and saying, “that’s it guys! Second worst tv show ever! Just behind this tv show I actually watched, and just ahead another I actually watched.”
If you’d actually like a chance to be critical of an actual piece of music meant to be consumed on its own from Sgt Pepper, check out A Day in the Life and get back with me.
You should write to the many radio stations that play it as a standalone song, in that case.
Could’ve taken five seconds to alter the image so that it actually said “beetle” instead of responding to every comment trying to explain your joke.
Truly a failure of a shitpost.
No that’s the point though. And yes, this explanation is also the point. Glad you liked it!
I hate The Doors.
I think my favorite Beatles fact is they were being taxed at like a 90+% rate and didn’t even know for a couple years.
When they found out and took it to court the judge basically said “you were making so much money you didn’t even realize you were being taxed at all. Sucks to suck we’re gonna keep taxing you at the same rate”
Based Judge is based
1,2,3,4,1,2,cough,3,4
middle aged? lmao the average baked in Beatles fan is Ike 80 now.
The original ones. They are still popular among Gen X and Millenials. Personally, I never like the Beatles. I don’t have them, but I find their music slightly annoying.
White Middle aged Gen X’er here… Can’t stand the Beetles…
I’m no Beatles fan, but Eleanor Rigby goes hard
My favorite song of theirs is While My Guitar Gently Weeps
But I still think The Kinks are better
Funny, I love the Beatles but that’s one song from them I don’t really care for. I want to like it but it somehow manages to be one of my least favorite Beatles songs and Clapton solos. Love the kinks too though
GenX here that would fit “middle aged” and I don’t care about the Beatles. Yeah, they’ve got some good songs, but as a group or needing to have all their songs? Nah. Whatever.
