This is tangentially related, but I'd even go so far as to say that the majority of classic rock (what emerged before, around, and came after the Beatles) is majorly overrated.

Possibly because Boomers are such a large and self-romanticizing generation, it as a genre seems to have a venerated, almost sacred place in the history of music that I don't think it really deserves. They act like it's so profound, unique and awe-inspiring, but misogyny and extremely shallow lyrics are very prevalent throughout the discography of the most popular classic rock bands, to the point where that almost predominates the whole genre. It's also riddled with pretentious, transparent metaphors.

This might be a silly analogy, but I feel like classic rock was gangsta rap for white people before gangsta rap was gangsta rap for white people. Both genres glorify the same things: sex (and misogyny!), money, power, toxic masculinity and a dangerous outsider, 'bad boy' lifestyle. And most of the major figures in both genres were/are terrible people. All under the flimsy banner of being 'authentic', 'deep', and 'pioneering'. Bleh. Disco was better in that era IMO.
