The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.

In school as a young teen ager, we has two groups....the Beatles fans and the Dave Clark Five fans, which I was one of.  In your youth did you have different cliques (I am thinking high school) based on what bands/singers they liked?  I was also in the minority by being a Del Shannon fan.  (yes, I am a dinosaur! ).  Thankfully I aged into Jazz and Classical for the most part, but did enjoy some popular music in the 80s.   And you?

I remember radio stations doing battle of the bands between the Beatles and the DC 5.  Can't remember who won though.

Once a Beatles fan, always a Beatles fan. Not something you outgrow or get over.

Simon and Garfunkel. Never occurred to me to think of it as a clique. To me it was just the kids with good taste in music.

On the other side of the globe, when I was in primary school, it was ABBA.
Kids had AB on the left shoe, and BA facing them on the toe of the right shoes. They were from Sweden.

Pink Floyd, the Stones, U2 in Australia was a pretty massive movements too.
