“I DON’T LIKE THE BEATLES”

Liking stuff that everyone else likes is definitely not great. Blind enjoyment of everything the media throws at you is for normies — it’s how X Factor is allowed to exist and the reason there are 210 episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond. So it’s cool that you’re into weird stuff instead of just being a drone like everyone else. Culture’s important; it sets us apart from the animals. It shouldn’t just be consumed — you should form your own tastes and not be swayed by the opinions of the masses.
But you need to draw the line somewhere, guys, because not liking The Beatles out of sheer bloody-mindedness is retardo. Besides, I’m pretty sure in your heart of hearts you know they more or less invented every type of decent music, including punk. I know the Rolling Stones appeared to be more badly behaved and they had amazing singles about the devil, but they were always one step behind musically — they even copied Sergeant Pepper wholesale and their albums where shit until the 70s.

The Beatles might be what Glen Matlock was kicked out of the Sex Pistols for liking, but the Sex Pistols were a bunch of posers and Johnny Rotten is in a butter advert. Also, John Lennon kicked a guy in the head and he died of his injuries a month or so later.
