That rule began to change during the 1960s. As popular music styles continued to develop along with the rest of “sixties” culture, pop began claiming the loyalty of its audience into adulthood irrespective of educational level; and it began claiming the mantle of “authenticity” as well. The watershed, both in terms of musical content and in terms of audience tenacity, was the advent of the Beatles, an English rock ‘n’ roll group that first performed in America in 1964, soon to be followed by additional British “invaders” like the Rolling Stones, the Who, and many others. They now became the chief model of emulation for American pop performers.
