A corgi’s smile is pure Revolver still bangs the sun is bright, and the Trump piss tape is real. But their outsized presence in the Western canon also means it gets exhausting to read new exaltations of their merit, in the way that a photo gallery of especially cute dogs can be a little dry. The Beatles really were that good, and their influence on music, spanning genres and decades, can’t be overestimated. Of course it stood to reason that kids today might like and treasure Migos-whose influence on modern rap is diverse and prolific-more than the long-gone Fab Four, beloved patron saints of white parents across the world. Whether it was intended as a joke or not, the comparison sparked a small conversation between long-winded internet provocateurs about how canons split and reform from generation to generation. A few years ago, a mildly charming, mildly smug meme claiming Migos were better than the Beatles started circulating around the internet.
