Beatlemaniacs
Liverpool quartet devotees
Beatlemaniacs are obsessive fans of the Beatles, the British rock band that dominated popular music in the 1960s.
The term captures the hysteria—screaming, fainting, mobbing—that surrounded the group at their peak: Beatlemaniacs lined up for days to get concert tickets.
The word combines Beatles with maniac, echoing the noun Beatlemania for the phenomenon itself.
