controversial opinion: anyone think that the beatles

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The Beatles only have a couple good songs anyway, and they're all from the later albums.

So says the most blatent worshipper of hipster music scenes who is far too alternative to enjoy pop, and consequently listens to utter drek.

No I'm not exactly a fan of Ke$ha or Justin Bieber.

But seriously this is "hipster dreck"? (Last band I saw, and saw them twice, once in a suburb.)

I'll bite.

Why are most of the Beatle's songs "dreck" or whatever?

It's not like Ke$ha or Justin Bieber. I just find the early stuff pretty boring and far too polished.

I never said anything about Ke$ha or Bieber, so thanks for dodging the question, and boring?

OK comparison:

This is an early Beatles song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVlr4g5-r18

Very formulaic, simplistic, repetitive and quite polished. Not exactly a terrible song but it's kind of just background sounds to me.

Now this is considered one of the best songs of all time in my whole niche: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqS5Fo9j7BA

Far more complex, innovative, raw and unpolished. Note that it has no traditional song structures AT ALL, it'd be a stretch to call anything in that a verse, much less including a chorus. Here's an even better example, even if from a less well known and influential band.

It's worth noting that The Beatles song that BRTD posted is a cover.

I actually didn't know that.

However I was considering using either that or this one, which I'd say the same applies to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHkgwA8t-g

Yes, actually, that's about the definition of hipster. I can picture a crowd full of dudes with their ironic beards (neckbeards or otherwise) and wearing knit-wool caps in August. Though not total drek at least I'll grant.

But hipster? Yeah, the fact you pointed out you once saw them "in a suburb" speaks volumes.

Mmmmm no. Instead picture a bunch of people in hoodies jumping around and crowdsurfing. AKA standard hardcore kids, not hipsters. Also it being in a suburb is notable, what type of hipster would ever go to a show in a suburb? Believe me even I was upset about it. FYI you could argue that BOTH times were in suburbs, but I wouldn't consider Moorhead a suburb, it's a twin city to Fargo just like St. Paul is to here.

I'm reasonably confident that your typical hipster would rather listen to the Beatles than... whatever it is that BRTD listens to.  They might be affected and pretentious but they're not deaf.

You seem to be making the rather common mistake that what I was listen to is exclusively or even mostly like emoviolence. Like see the video above. Per last.fm these are my ten most listened to bands:

Rainer Maria
The Appleseed Cast
The Wonder Years
Superchunk
Fireworks
Mineral
mewithoutYou
The Hated
Neshamah
Lifetime

Now except for Neshamah and early mewithoutYou, none of those bands ever go over a 7 on TV Tropes Rock and Metal Hardness scale (for those unfamiliar with it, a 7 is about where the median Nirvana song would sit.) I suppose there's The Hated's early stuff but hardly anyone listens to that including myself. Rainer Maria, The Appleseed Cast and Mineral probably don't ever go above even a 5, meaning the Beatles have "harder" songs than they do.
