Reading through the comments, it turns out I've heard quite a few of their songs, and enjoyed none of them. I don't get how they were so popular.

Try listening to Check Your Head all the way through. If you don't get it after that, you never will.
They have a historical importance in the hip-hop realm notably when it comes to sampling. See the album Paul's Boutique.
Because they were a perfect mix of Punk and Hip Hop. It just fit right into the late 80s and 90s.
A girl called me a sexy beastie boy on the bus freshman yr college. Went to HS with one of their brothers, where their original drummer went. Used to bump check your head on the boo box. Youth are intolerable
I understand what some of this means I think
It was the 90s. You wouldn't understand Mom! /s
Prob not worth your brain energy tbh
My daughter got really into Brooklyn 99 with me when she was like 11 and from then on became a big Beastie Boys fan
That kid probably woke up late for school and didn't want to go.
I like the beats and the shouting!
I mean... They're a band, they're all boys... Why isn't Beastie Boys a "boy band?" 🤔
So are Metallica, AC/DC and Van Halen.
yea but they dont have "boy" in the name!
Neither does N*Sync.
what do you think the asterisk stands for??
It's for the legal disclaimer they put on their album covers.
*NSYNC

I think it stands for "hyphen."
"Metallica are a boy band." was not a take I expected to find today, but I think I know exactly the right people to annoy with this.
Red Hot Chili Peppers is my favorite boy band.
Based
I'm partial to Fall Out Boy, myself
They're a beast band.
Sorry, I'm not keen on classical music
Beast Street Boyz
