You might want to check out this article from Billboard about streaming Beatles music and popularity among all age groups:

People that aren’t impressed by the legends forget to at least consider their work in the era that it was created. If the Beatles came out right now, it would be about as impressive as a barbershop quartet. But in their time, they were revolutionary. Just like Elvis (who they admired) before them, and Ozzy (who is a huge Beatles fan) after them, or the Ramones that some credit for creating punk.
