Why do avant teens fear the Beatles

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

this is some vapid generalization

They perfected the rock form and espoused it in the most concrete manner. There is no abstraction and thus it does not appeal to the avant-teen palate.

this. Its obvious why avant-teens are autistic about the beatles. They were not innovative.

all the annoying self-important music critics must be blurring in my mind because I thought Robert Christgau said that

As much as I don't care for the Beatles, their popularity allowed them to bring stranger and different ideas from psychedelic,experimental and world music into the pop music conscious post 1966.

Also I always get a good chuckle everytime I see this pasta
