Both are simply laziness IMHO.

This view compares the seeming logical historical progression of one period and it's styles to the next and out of this expects the new. But when the new isn't experienced as such (because it WAS new in retrospect), there is the feeling of terminality, this is it, nothing more, everything at once and nothing really. If we ditch our retrospective view towards time and just do, there might be stuff going on that retrospective people can use to 'write history', but as a creator, that isn't help full at all. As a creator you just need to absorb and transform impressions and share the result to the world so other people can absorb and transform. just my pov.

"No chord progression is original..blah blah". Art and culture are always a rehash of some old form. Even the original, draw from somewhere and perhaps that somewhere happens to be a place everyone else took no notice of. Now back to working on that totally new chord progression......hmm haha we have had this discussion in many studio sessions. “No chord progression is original..blah blah”.
