Nearly all of my friends are familiar with The Beatles (admittedly, to varying degrees), so it wouldn’t go over so well if I tried.
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.
I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Offline I teach English to children aged 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (I’m Portuguese). I’ve taken a CD three or four times to the classes (especially for the older children) and they liked the music. At the end I told them “You’ve been listening to the Beatles, look for other songs by them”. One of the classes loved the music so much that they kept asking me if we could listen to the Beatles again. I was so glad!

Well, I’m no longer a teenager, but when I was a teenager (not that long ago), already a Beatles fan, all my classmates and cousins used to say they didn’t like the Beatles because their music was old. It really made me angry! Of course it was useless to say something which is absolutely true: their music will never be old and while the hits (well, at least most of them) of those days have already been forgotten, Beatles’ music hasn’t and never will. It’s just like in literature: genius will always be listened to and read. Yes, because that’s what the Beatles are: genius.Absolutely. Good music never goes out of style.
@AbbeyRoadRage Yes, that’s my philosophy. Real music never goes out of style in 3 months! I’m just crazed that they thought they broke up in the 80s and 90s, and popularity in the 20s? No! But I like the fact that there are still others like me that appreciate music like the Beatles for what it is. Beatlemania will never really end in here.

Offline Just today this girl asked me if The Beatles were like country music…
I mean they have like 10 song that are country-ish like.
And when I told her it was like pop/rock, she asked me if I would dance to it like this:
She really needs to go and learn those genres!

Glad you at least tried. Hopefully your friends will mature and see the light.

I haven’t done it either, I should!
Do any of you fellow teenager Beatlemaniacs feel like you were born in the wrong time period? I do so sometimes. Often I’m embarassed that I am part of such a generation…
Yeah. But I don’t feel like I was born in the wrong time period necessarily, I actually kind of feel it’s our duty to make the rest of our generation see The Inner Light , dammit! But I totally get what you mean about being embarrassed about the generation we’re a part of.

I get both of these feelings. On the one hand, yes it is our duty for them to see The Inner Light , but on the other hand, I’m upset at the disgust and mockery made towards the Beatles and their fans. It is very difficult.

That’s true. It’s really difficult to just make them actually listen to anything they don’t want from an objective standpoint. Its hard to get anyone to do that, but especially teenagers.

Do you guys have any ideas on how to convince the kids to listen to the Beatles?

Well, if you’re gonna lock them in the car, at least give them food and water (and turn the air con on). But we would really like some real advice.

In addition to the Beatles, there are dozens of songs by different bands and musicians from former decades that teens today may be unaware of (even with the magic of the Internet now) — songs that to my ears sound clearly superior to even the best stuff being churned out today.
Off the top of my head, I can think of one excellent way for a teen today to begin his journey of education in this regard: Simply Google Top 40 lists from, say, a given 10-year period in history — like 1960 to 1970.
Here’s a nice simple lay-out that could get one started: a simple list of the 40 top songs for each of those years: http://www.jschepper.net/Music…..1960s.html
Then a bit of work begins: you find songs you want to listen to and type them into YouTube (that’s hardly hard work!). Ideally, one would set the long-term goal of at least listening to the first 30 seconds of all 400 songs.
P.S.: Wow, in looking that site over myself, I just learned something that shows I’m not a true Beatlemaniac — I didn’t even know that the Beatles only had their first Top 40 hits in the USA beginning in January of 1964 (they had already made a couple of years prior to that a giant splash, of course, across the Pond).

Even Revolution 9 ? Because my first impression of Revolution 9 was, “What the heck is this?” A lot of teens today might think it sounds like crap.

Offline I once introduced my 2 close friends to beatles, they both listened to crap music then. However, I managed to turn 1 friend into a fan not a superfan
but the other one who only listened to rap and crap (still listen to crap), disliked them and only enjoyed yesterday. People at school think if they listen to Imagine Dragons, they have a superior rock musical taste
(they are Pop rock, i used to listen to them but they are okayish)
once beatles were asked ” how long you think beatlemanic will last”
John “as long as they keep coming”
