Everyone copies everything. Original ideas are like farts in a gale storm wind, ethereal and over in a blink of an eye without even an afterblast of stink.
Everyone when they are in their teens think they are the most original thing since green eggs and ham and think that their thoughts are the sleekest most profound ever, until they wake up and find out that there are millions of other teens out there with the exact same thoughts and feelings. Its a fucking shame but you grow out of it and realize it matters as much as ant shit. |
You're absolutely correct. I used to think the same thing. Probably thought it longer than most people do. But I came to realize after high school that there is an entire world out there and that nothing is original anymore.
It's like Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin once said: There is no guitar riff that you can play that hasn't already been played.
The same is true for everything else. Everyone has already thought about it. It's only in the marketing of ideas where people get the one-up.
