They're severely overrated, but also quite culturally/historically relevant. So... what can ya do?
- They are extremely relevant, culturally and historically. They broke new grounds for music, and a lot of today's music would simply not exist without the Beatles, or some of their contemporaries. That alone means they're not overrated.
  However that doesn't mean everyone has to love them. It's possible to recognise their relevance without worshipping them.
- I think this is a case of the Seinfeld effect where people take them for granted due to them being so influential that part of their sound has become imbued into every single pop band that came after them.
  
  Yeah, there are any number of "But so-and-so did it so much better than the Beatles!" instances, but the thing is that so-and-so wouldn't have even tried if the Beatles hadn't done it first.
  Take or leave their music, there's no denying the massive influence they had.
- I'm not proposing we do anything. I think they deserve their fame.
  
  We could send Japanese women to individually destroy their careers.
  
  Sounds like a bunch of work tho
  
  They're all trained saboteurs, they need little to no guidance. Get this... we use performance artists. Success is guaranteed!
- the word overrated means nothing and is used by cowards to try to discourage enthusiasm for things they can never comprehend.. it needs to be burnt on a word pyre.. it's impossible to overrate The Beatles, only a figment of the Matrix would think that..
  
  I'll rephrase:
  I think the Beatles are not nearly as good or enjoyable as many people suggest, and I'm not afraid to say it.
  
  Such edge
  
  They also had stupid haircuts.
  
  Even more super edge and such a hilarious and charming gif worthy of repeating
  
  not nearly as good or enjoyable as many people suggest
  you just reiterated your disdain for enthusiasm and nothing more, demonstrating how meaningless the word is.. you are a chatbot..
  
  Thanks Dwight.
  
  You sound like you're highly overrated by yourself.
  
  you sound scared to have an opinion
  
  Of what, exactly? People are allowed to be as enthusiastic about The Beatles as they want. I'm a big fan of their music myself.
  Your comment, on the other hand? That was self-important edgelord nonsense lol
  
  you're afraid someone will use the word overrated on your enthusiasm.. also, you continue to demonstrate my point by trying to attack me personally.. it's what a coward does..
  
  You sound like a very articulate 13 year old lol
  
  so, i sound like a human.. you sound like beep boop..
