An English band that was around during the British invasion. At first they made poppy music. What they musically contributed to the world of music was not their style, but experimenting. They were the first pop group to experiment.
They can't be the best band ever because there is no best band ever. They may be your favorite band but that doesn't mean they're the best band ever. Because music is entirely subjective.
People tend to exaggerate their influence. People say they influenced everything. Not true. They influenced musicians in a way to think outside the box and do something new. No bands really derived from their sound, but how they constantly did something different and weren't afraid to.
The music the hipsters listen to would have existed without The Beatles. The Beatles main influence was in the field of Rock, particularly in the sub-genres of Experimental, and Psychedelic.
Mainstream music is Pop-Punk, R&B, Electronic, Rap, and mixtures of those styles.
The Beatles had a strong influence on music, but only on some of the biggest sub-genres of Rock at the time. As I mentioned above, Experimental and Psychedelic.

One of the worst kinds of posers. These people pose as hardcore fans for bands, usually to look sophisticated or unique, or cool. But don't actually like the music for the sound, only for how they think it makes them look. Hardcore fan posers usually do memorize songs of the band, just so that they can look like real fans. Hardcore fan posers insult people when they say another band is higher in a certain field then that band. It is because they like the label of the band and it insults them to see the band they feel sophisticated/cool/etc listening to, being insulted. When someone says that one member of one band is better than a member of the band they are posing as a hardcore fan of, they will just retaliate by saying that the band they pose as a hardcore fan of is better, even though the other person didn't necessarily say that.

hardcorefanposer: SHUT UP! YOU'RE GAY!
person: Do you even know how Pink Floyd got their name?
hardcorefanposer: They thought it up randomly.
person: uh no, they took the first names of two blues artists: Pink Anderson, and Floyd Council.

Music that has no emotion or musical value and is created to embody and amplify the characteristics of a certain style.
In other words, music that puts technicality, brutality, speed, and complication over the quality and the emotion put into the music.
Examples:
A Power Metal band that musically masturbates will fit as many notes as possible into their riffs and solos. Resulting in a boring rushed song.
A Tech Death band that musically masturbates will also fit as many notes as possible into their riffs, and they will usually palm mute the whole thing and make the riff as hard to play as they can. The drummer will hit the bass drum with a double bass pedal as fast as they can. Resulting in crap.
A Prog Metal band that musically masturbates will create songs as long as possible with as many different riffs as they can make. Often creating boring songs.
The guitar work of some shredders has been labeled as musical masturbation.
