this is the gayest, pointless and most meaningless thread ever.
don't pioneers tend to be remembered over anything else? like, most of the time, they're never recognised when they're alive (mozart was burried in a pauper's grave) but he was definitely a genius, a bit of a twinkle toes, maybe, but that's not the issue.
copyists are never revered, people study the past and copyists always get busted... this kinda applies to art (painting, composition, sculpture, etc.)
as far as writing, lyrics, etc go, if you can be honest and speak from your heart or with faith and conviction, that will last. if people can find light in what you say, encouragement or if they can empathise with what you're saying, that will also last. i mean, the human condition, love, faith... perennial problems, no?
people who cater to 'current markets' will simply end up snorting coke and will feel ultimately unfulfilled and sad.
if you can mix the pioneering thing with honest words... shizzle, that's the combination. right snakey?

I dunno...like, Mozart wasn't particularly innovative, he just did things better than everyone else (which obviously means he had to have some originality, but not in an obvious way like Beethoven or Chopin or Debussy)...ditto Bach...who was an absolute scary type genius all the same like

Here Mickey, are you talking about 'production' styles or music composition or what?

The full spectrum...and indeed any artform be up for grabs

only time will tell.

Yeah...but see I figgers one can extrapolate from stuff that has been longer-lasting in the past
