like i said the most original shit in the past 30 years was largely unoriginal, a mosaic of other songs with new twists. that was great for a while but now there is not even an effort at novelty, much less originality. honestly everything in mainstream music now is either a flagrant ripoff/reconstruction or, at best, a watered down version of shit that was only kind of popular. very few people doing anything different. even bands that are supposedly hip like the war on drugs are basically just human jukebox acts that started writing their own songs, like a robot that developed human emotions.
