Yeah...but those ideas for songs are theirs. That's why it was creative...
I think yeah, of course they beat things into the dirt like crazy...which is why Asian music is a little bit more enjoyable for me personally to listen to...but their music is not necessarily original either.
I don't really know if it's possible to even create original music anymore...now it's like...people have gone back or people are moving forward in like electronica...or they're making like hybrid genres.
But even if artists from here or there come along that DO do something original...which, with the sheer amount of music out there, there must be...but that doesn't mean they're popular...
America gravitates toward what's popular. Like Lady Gaga or Britney Spears...that's why they're everywhere.
But Lady Gaga and Britney Spears shouldn't represent the entire spectrum of Western Music...but I guess that's where we have "Mainstream" and "Indie" classifications...
meh it's really hard to say...in the past I think it's been the USA.
Now...everyone's just the same.
