The influence of Beatles on the
popular culture
The Beatles are one of the most
historically significant examples of musical
influence on popular culture. The
revolucionary Rock’n Roll band rose to
popularity in the 60’s.
The Beatle fandom, also known as
“Beatlemania”, inspired everything from
hairstyles to luch boxes. During the 60’s
The Beatles appeared on numerous tv
shows and in magazine and movies. The
band’s catchy tunes, relatively innocent
lyrics and high visibility drove The Beatles
to unprocedented superstardom.
The British Invasion
Along with other british bands, The
Beatles “invaded” the United States music
scene. Later the style and the lyrics of the
Beatles helped lead a cultural and social
revolution, but early Beatles songs were
about holding hands and dancing. Unlike
their british –and some American-
contemporanies, the Beatles’s songs lacked
a sexual charge , making the music more
accessible to women and more permissible
to parents.
This made the band extremely pervasive by
the time the tome of their songs turned
revolutionary.
Experimentation
In 1967, The Beatles released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club Band” a record experimenting with musical concepts,
new musical instruments, style and lyrics. The Beatles band
members themselves were experimenting with drugs and new
spiritual systems, including Eastern religions and
trascendental meditation. In part, the visible drug and
spiritual experimentation of the band members helped spur
the drug and spiritual popular culture of the 1960’s. Called
Hippies, the champions of the culture preached peace,
openness, love and more experimentation.
The Rise of Records
While it was likely that many homes already had a record
player, youth demand for Beatles records drove record player
sales and encouraged manufacturers to innovate. Parents
unfamiliar with "the rock 'n' roll music" wouldn't allow
children and teens to play Beatles records on the family's
living room record players. This led to a rise in popularity of
smaller, cheaper record players for the teens' bedrooms -- to
keep "that racket" behind closed doors. Teens grew into
young adults over the course of the 1960s and began to
demand better and better sound quality. The record player
manufacturers used recent profits to create technologically
advanced, high-fidelity record players.
The End of an Era
The Beatles played their last live concert together in 1969,
but the band didn't officially break up until 1975 when band
member Paul McCartney announced he was leaving the
Beatles. Many speculate that band member John Lennon's
close relationship with his girlfriend, Yoko Ono, spurred the
breakup. For many members of the 1960s popular culture,
the so-called "Peace and Love Era" ended in 1969 and the
breakup of the Beatles seemed to confirm that as fact.
