I do not think anyone is denying that "popular" music catered to the juvenile.
Just that the Beatles are the pinnacle of the practice, yet heralded as something different.
We all accept Bobby Darin for what he was, not so with the Beatles.

We all accept Bobby Darin for what he was, not so with the Beatles. Bobby Darin is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (despite the fact that he is a Sinatra-esque crooner with a couple novelty songs that young people bought). It would seem that some industry types/critics/historians don't accept him for "what he was".
