Sounds Of Masculinity

"Sounds of Masculinity" offers another perspective of The Beatles' influence that may explain the group's success and longevity. Their strong male fanbase is the primary force and reflects their appeal as they emitted a masculine energy that was deeply understood by other men. Women were also aware of this energy, but it was the male fanbase that was principally responsible for defining what qualified as The Beatles' power and momentum. "Sounds of Masculinity" examines The Beatles through a modern study of masculinity. They became the progenitors of a new, Third Manhood Revolution that revealed a progressive standard of masculine traits and behaviors. Manhood's earlier eras encouraged men to seek productivity in their smaller communal environment for the benefit of all. As society and culture developed, men realized how their individual preferences for growth served as guideposts toward success and well-being for themselves and their families. It becomes clear that The Beatles demonstrated how they merged characteristics from both eras to form a total greater than the sum of its parts. The Third Manhood Revolution invited men to be grounded in personal self-alignment as men and not accept third-party classifications because of their professions or roles in society. From childhood to the release of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," The Beatles demonstrated how their self-awareness supported expansion toward astonishing success. Mentors Brian Epstein and George Martin understood it was the appeal of the group's gang mindset and not their music that was magnetic. In the recording studio, Lennon and McCartney demanded to hear the manifestation of their new audio ideas to reflect an evolved songwriting standard. EMI engineers were coerced to discover new sound manipulations to fulfill those demands as corporate rules were broken and advanced technology was invented. Press media men who sought to destroy The Beatles' reputation ended up adoring them instead. Male fans jumped onstage, swam canals and climbed trees to be near them. Older men spent a lifetime collecting albums and other prized memorabilia to express their fanship. Male musician fans were smitten by The Beatles' approach to the game of upward mobility, recognizing how success was found by expressing their personal masculine perspective in their music. These fruitful discernments resulted in the trajectory of mid-century popular music throughout the world for over four music generations. The Beatles have been, by far, the dominating influence upon western civilization's view of popular culture.
