I don't care for your assertion of only two sides: "Beatles fans" and "those who don't put effort into understanding art." In point of fact, all I really said was that "I don't get it". I specifically stayed completely away from making any kind of direct, critical judgement of the Beatles themselves. Maybe you might be able to see how one might see such replies as overly-defensive.

I don't care for your assertion of only two sides: "Beatles fans" and "those who don't put effort into understanding art." Well, that's an obnoxious assertion and I don't like it either so I suppose we agree on something. However, that's not the assertion I made. Not even close. I specifically said "those forms of art", not "art" in totality. I'm sure there's a lot of art you enjoy. I also referred specifically to those who feel the need to dunk on the Beatles, not merely people who don't care for them. It's absolutely incomprehensible to me when people go out of their way to click on an article about artist XYZ simply so they can tell the world how they don't understand or don't like that artist. What an odd impulse. Anything about the Beatles seems to draw out this sort of reaction (and counter-reaction, and counter-counter-reaction...)
