"If no one creates anything new, what will be the inspiration for future generations?" - I personally think that is a dangerous mentality to have when it comes to creating art, in this case music, because the implication is that we should be creating for the concept of a future, when in reality that doesn't exist, rather than a honest expression of one's self in the moment. I agree people should strive for originality and honesty in their work but it should be about the present, timeless moment and not for some illusory goal like a non-existent future.
