If art was self expression we wouldn’t have art schools and classes.
Human artists learn by studying other artists.Music is just math. Popular music is as derivative as anything suno can make.
So only ‘outsider art’ is art? (Those who never took a class) Everything you do is derivative, if you’re going to slice it that way. Your parents taught you how to talk. Is that not your native language?
