I have close friends in their 70s who were young teens here in northern Ontario during that period. They talk about how young girls would scream and cry at their TV while watching the Beatles.
Looking back at it with old age they admitted that it wasn't so much the sexual attraction but the first time that girls (and guys) could openly cheer and celebrate something they were happy about.
They do the same nowadays
The way they explained it me is ..... it was the first time most young people back then could do so, especially with the newly introduced TV system where young people everywhere could get excited about the same thing with everyone around them.
It was a time of firsts.... everything or most pop culture trends we get bored with today were considered new and exciting back then. And the Beatles were the first modern international pop band that everyone were excited for.
