*** Not quite. The premise is that they didn't exist, period. Regardless of one's memory, one would assume that the few billion or so pieces of media that referenced the Beatles would still be around if it were an amnesia incident.

* If Oasis doesn't exist in the altered universe, how could 14-year-old Jack have played "Wonderwall" at the talent show? Did he play a different song, or did Ellie and everyone else just assume that it was a song he'd written himself?

* Why would the music of the Beatles be such a hit in the modern day? It's as though the movies depicts the catalog of the Beatles as some kind of platonically perfect music that would always be universally beloved by all, instead of the public opinion of it being largely determined by the trends of the time. Thanks to SeinfeldIsUnfunny, I think most people would think that they would sound dated, comparing it to all of the music from the sixties that in our world was inspired by it.

*** If they never got famous in The Beatles, there's also at least some chance that they never left Liverpool. Paul, George, and/or Ringo could still have been living right there in Liverpool. Jack could've tried looking in a local phone book - but he was trying to recall song lyrics, so he was too busy at that time.

** Mick, Keith, and the gang could still be inspired by a different band to write their own material. There is no indication that the British Invasion itself never happened. A lot of the Stones' early hits were written by others ("Time Is On My Side," "It's All Over Now").

If the Beatles don't exist in this universe, then how the hell did Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Co. get to the same level of fame in our timeline without their influence?

** The thing is this wasnt a movie about what if the Beatles never existed, but is about a movie about s guy waking up and learning that he was the only one who remembered they existed. Examining a world where the Beatles never existed and had influence would be a completely separate movie with a different, and probably more serious tone.
