Look at the movies--everything is a remake of a remake of a remake. Look at the music: insipid rip-off's of real music done in the '60's and '70's. Even the current prison tattoo look is all the rage...for the misguided "edgy" crowd out there. I haven't seen, heard, or experienced an original commercial produck for quite some time!!
Bam...couldn't have said it any better myself. In fact I've said the thing for a number of years. There's no creativity or individual thinking in any sector of modern human productivity...none. We've become clones, some might even say ZOMBIES, lol.
