Piero Scaruffi's review of the Beatles, originally published on his website scaruffi.com, became an internet legend due to its unapologetically harsh and elitist tone. The review posits that the Beatles were merely talented popularizers who distilled complex musical structures from more innovative, obscure artists into digestible pop. It gained legendary meme status on platforms like 4chan’s /mu/ board and Reddit, where it evolved into a definitive 'copypasta' used to satirize high-brow music elitism. The meme is frequently used to mock anyone who takes music history too seriously or to ironically present a wildly controversial take that challenges the status quo of classic rock worship.
