Hypable Reader Opinion: The curse of Beatle Mania

The mobs of people (or, okay, girls). Camping out in front of hotels. Hectically chasing down tour buses. Tears streaming down faces. Marriage proposals flinging out of mouths without any thought. Mass hysteria. Thousands of shrilling screams causing temporary hearing loss. Or at least a headache. Such is the life of a hardcore boy band fangirl. What emerged in the sixties with the popularity of the Beatles, grew and developed into what’s now commonly referred to as Beatle Mania.
