I never understood the screaming.
Like, "Woooooo!" and "Yeeeeaaah!". These are normal. But just opening your mouth and relentlessly screaming at people non-stop—people trying to perform with sound, no less, and not a single shark or bear around.
Edit: Okay, it hasn't been studied hard. But apparently it could be a natural bevaviour to get attention over other competing females.
Now I'm no love guru, but this is not how it is done. Unless there is indeed a shark or bear or something similar, it is unlikely to be appreciated And I'm fairly confident this is the case for all genders, just in case some of you guys out there are thinking about screaming at someone to break ice for a cheeky, "How ya doin'?"
Woman in front seems to be in actual distress - like that's how I imagine I'd look if a portal to hell opened up in front of me and some unspeakable horror sloughed out.
It's just Ringo
Bruh, what did the coolest Beatle do to you?
He wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles
Don't have to be the best to be the coolest
It was a reference to their interview in Moscow
Paul did nothing at all, man. Any other questions?
Yea, why you taking about the second lamest Beatle?
She was listening to his Disco album.
I have close friends in their 70s who were young teens here in northern Ontario during that period. They talk about how young girls would scream and cry at their TV while watching the Beatles.
Looking back at it with old age they admitted that it wasn't so much the sexual attraction but the first time that girls (and guys) could openly cheer and celebrate something they were happy about.
They do the same nowadays
The way they explained it me is ..... it was the first time most young people back then could do so, especially with the newly introduced TV system where young people everywhere could get excited about the same thing with everyone around them.
It was a time of firsts.... everything or most pop culture trends we get bored with today were considered new and exciting back then. And the Beatles were the first modern international pop band that everyone were excited for.
Great article and worth a read. But in case you're short on time, here's an image from the article of this lady absolutely losing her mind.
It's the opossumification of the masses by the Beatles. People went 'hissssss' and 'AAAAAaaaAaa' before burrowing themselves. Weird times.
My ex was really into live concerts, and I hated moshing, but when Dave Grohl got on stage she lost her fucking mind. It's definitely look at me thing lol.
Probably the best concert I ever saw was Sinead O'Connor in the early nineties. Seriously, her studio music was great but she and her band were absolutely fucking tight live. But when I saw her, almost the entire audience was 13-year old girls dressed in black and they would erupt in screams every time Sinead did anything, like jump or make a weird gesture with her hand or whatever. The screaming was very annoying and it seems like even Sinead was annoyed by it.
