One of the problems Old Fucks have with '''One Direction''' is that they are a boy-band like the '''Monkeys''' that is extensively test marked and packaged for public consumption based on the original [[Beatles]] model. They're not a group. They are faces and voices hired to sing songs written by other people, they play no instruments and are basicly doing the same brand of music that they Beatles made famous and are bringing nothing new to the table.

Revision as of 00:34, 1 November 2017
Abbey Road, released 26 September 1969 is the 11th album released by the Beatles. It is the last album that all the Beatles participated on before they all got sick and tired of John Lennon's villanous, Japanese, greedy souled, backstabbing Waifu Yoko Ono trying to run the show and broke up just after their final album Let It Be released. The album is mostly known for the George Harrison megahit Something and the Timothy Leary inspired song Come Together by John Lennon that is probably better known by most as a cover from Aerosmith.
Musically it is well received but it is best known for starting the pre-internet meme of people visiting England and recreating the iconic album cover to send home to friends and family as a postcard when the pictures were developed. More recently it is known for all the butthurt One Direction started with Beatles fans when they copied the classic album cover in 2015 and claimed that they were "More Popular Than The Beatles".
Get it. In a March 1966 interview with The London Evening Standard John Lennon claimed "The Beatles Were More Popular Than Jesus" so by saying One Direction is more popular than the Beatles you are saying they are ultimately more popular than Jesus. Such clever word play.
—John Lennon. The world's first troll. | ||
Abbey Road: The Meme
-
The Simpsons. Probably The Best Of The Tributes -
L.A. Rams -
Streets Of Rage -
U2 From 2006 -
The British actively advertise Abbey Road as a photo-stop for tourists -
Take one step and then again. Let's do the Mario, all together now! -
Someone's Waifus on Abbey Road -
Things are always better with Zombies -
Sesame Street -
Lego gets in on the meme -
You don't need to know the Beatles to know the Meme because the Abbey Road album cover instantly became a meme in 1969 when the Album was first released because of the simplicity and candidness of the image. Anyone could have taken it. It's another one of those images like Eddie Adams' award winning photograph Saigon Execution that has been burnt into our collective psyche.
Doing an Abbey Road style picture has become a way for people to say that they've made it. That they are officialy a part of the shared experience like the Simpsons, South Park, Bands like U2 and even jokes, such as, having Batman, Nightwing, Robin and Batgirl crossing the famous Zebra striped Road.
Unfortunately, like everything that starts off as a clever tribute or homage, it has it's copy cats and has become an unfunny, Forced Meme getting done and done again by every 14-year-old-boy who saw the Kiss version of this meme on a shirt at Hot Topic.
Since 9AM Last Thursday, the Abbey Road Meme was declared officially dead because it is only now being done by newfag ritalin kids that believe the road to funny is to keep repeating something that was slightly cool when it started back with their grandparents and a 35mm camera.
The Butthurt One Direction Caused
One of the problems Old Fucks have with One Direction is that they are a boy-band like the Monkeys that is extensively test marked and packaged for public consumption based on the original Beatles model. They're not a group. They are faces and voices hired to sing songs written by other people, they play no instruments and are basicly doing the same brand of music that they Beatles made famous and are bringing nothing new to the table. In other words, they are picked by music executives to be a modern spin on the Beatles.
For most of their career, no one that wasn't female or over the age of 15 knew who the hell One Direction was. Not until 2015 when One Direction member Harry Styles put an Abbey Road styled pic of One Direction up on their Facebook page and bragged that they were Bigger Than The Beatles when they broke a Beatles record for most songs to debut at the top 10 on the Hot 100 chart. More recently, on 30 October 2017, they tied the Beatles with 3 of their members having #1 solo albums.
No one really paid any notice to Harry Styles bragging because no one really knew who tge Beatle are except old fucks who really did nothing except get high and listen to music in the 60s.
