So, you're intentionally ignorant?
How exactly do you expect kids these days to learn about music from 2 or 3 generations ago?
Shouldn't it be considered a positive that Kanye wanted to collaborate with McCartney? How is that a bad thing?
Sure, the people who hadn't yet heard of Paul McCartney sound like idiots on Twitter, but shouldn't it be considered a good thing that they've now heard of him and can then google 'Paul McCartney' and then stumble upon The White Album, listen to it, and think "Man, that is some good shit!"?
If you're truly a Beatles fan, you should be happy that a new generation of fans are being exposed to them because it will keep their legacy alive for many more years.
When I was growing up, my mom would always listen to Oldies radio stations which would play some of their earlier stuff so I was exposed to them from an early age. While I liked their songs, I didn't truly become a fan until college when I started listening to their later stuff.
You have to start somewhere.
Just because these people haven't heard of Paul McCartney doesn't necessarily mean that they are all idiots (though I'm sure that a lot of them are), it just means that they haven't had the benefit of being exposed to his music at a young age.
It's really not that much different than when Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney did a few songs together in the early 80s.
