The Beatles were an English rock band, started in Liverpool, England in 1960. They were, and still are, one of the most successful and influential bands in the history of modern music. The Beatles drew influences from many music genres through their career, including 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, classical, psychedelia, and Indian music, and their songs ranged from pop ballads to hard rock.

How did they become famous?

Whatever fans were getting from The Beatles, it all starts with the songs. From 1962 through their breakup in 1970, they would write roughly 200 of them.
Then there were the films, the changing hairstyles, and most importantly, the ever-evolving music.
"Most pop culture figures become well-known, and then they stop growing," said Stark. "They keep doing what got them there. The Beatles constantly reinvent themselves. They don't want to keep doing the same thing even more than once, and in a way as they reinvent themselves, they reinvent all of their followers -- and we're talking hundreds of millions."

Much has changed since the Beatles‟ arrival. They made their marks on music, fashion, social behavior,
attitude, and philosophy. They were the trendsetters in a social revolution.

The Beatles had the good fortune to emerge at a unique time when musicians could become forces for social change. It was a time when music was the most vital force in young people’s lives—something that will never happen again and something that was never intended by the Beatles themselves. As George Harrison said: “We were four relatively sane people in the middle of madness.”

It is difficult to imagine a pop music group could have so much influence on our culture and country. Considered to be tame by today's standards, the haircuts and clothing seemed scandalous in 1964

the Beatles helped feminize the culture. Presley may have been revolutionary, but there was no gender revolution until the Beatles came along.

Beatlemania hit the United States with full force in 1964. The Beatles captured perfectly the mood of the generation and expertly put it to music. Beatlemania was so strong because the times and the youth of America were simpler and more naïve.

Social movements

It can easily be said that the Beatles are the most influential band of all time.

It was one of the loudest and audacious decades in forms of art, music, culture, and news and the Beatles were smack dab in the middle of it. They absorbed everything around them and set off in their own direction: one that would define a generation. They changed the lifestyle of youths across the nation—something that history proves does not happen overnight.
