Stealing, copying, paying homage, let's talk about it! From Quentin Tarantino, to Pablo Picasso, to Kendrick Lamar, and so on and so on, the great artists take from past great artists. It's hard to create something out of nothing ... so don't! Acknowledge that every little idea has come from somewhere and something. For everyone in this video, including the examples of people who are the influencers, not the influenceeeeees , they've taken. And it's a good thing (most of the time)

There's an old saying in professional wrestling, "stealing from 1 person is plagiarism, stealing from multiple people is research".

Paul McCartney once said "good artists borrow, great artists steal"....and he stole that from Picasso.

Dont just steal from one artist. Steal from load. Take what you like and ditch what you dont. Give it enough time and your patch work of influences will become your own style.

This is really how people sound original. I have thought about this for a while. People who sound just like the most popular thing have a talent to do that but are in a crowded field of sound alike . The ones who try to imitate their favorite artists but it comes out sounding original get all the attention. It not only sounds original but also sounds good. How did they do it? They are good musicians but they're not good at imitating exactly what they hear.

We need to start to forget about originality and coming w something from the scratch, fixating on being 100% original only generates frustration and unnecessary comparisons

Anytime I get so inspired by something that it makes me want to imitate it, I never get worried itâll be too similar cus I know that pretty early on itâs gonna turn into something else whether it be due to my inability to copy something well or my squirrelesque attention span chasing down some idea that emerges. I always end up somewhere that barely resembles the inspiration, if at all.

Francis Ford Coppola has said (and I'm highly paraphrasing here) that copying is important to do for an artist in the beginning, because it continues a connection that the thing you're copying made with you, so it's starting from something genuine. And when you've explored that thing in earnest, other stuff will come up and eventually you can't help but shape it into something new that is undoubtedly your own voice.

stealing from 1 person is plagiarism, stealing from multiple people is called "creativity"

Good artists are able to integrate existing elements and make them sound organic and make them their own. They will stick out from the infinite crowd of solid or bad artists that copy styles and bring little or nothing original to the table. It's always that way. Maybe especially in the EDM area. A new trend, everybody's hopping on the hype train and you end up with thousands and thousands of simliar sounding tracks that cannot even be distinguished because DJs and producers usually don't put their own vocals on the tracks.

At first, what you were saying pissed me off. The most prolific creative period I have ever had as a musician where I not only wrote the most music I ever had, but wrote the most music that I absolutely loved, that I ever had, was after a long period of time where I avoided listening to any music whatsoever outside of what I heard in movies or tv shows I watched. I went from listening to all kinds of music all the time for most of my life to listening to nothing. For at least a few years. And that freed me from comparing my music to anything else and freed me to create music that was my music and not someone else's music or me trying to make someone else's music or be someone else. While I don't wholesale disagree with you now, I think you left something out. Or at least didn't articulate it in a way that resonated with me. So I say yes, take influence everywhere you can, but don't be limited by it. The point is to use what you've heard to learn how to express your own heart and imagination.

Itâs very important kids to be influenced across mediums. So basically a writer is usually heavily influenced by music or a director is heavily influenced by a writer or a musician is heavily influenced by a scientist etc âŚbe artistically influenced by animals and weather systems, car design and chair design, fashion, architecture, basket weaving patterns etc⌠itâs endless. You can choose which lineage to branch from in any direction. Youâre failure to be other people results in your own unique self⌠so essentially âfailureâ is the secret sauce of art.

The gatekeeping is REAL, especially on the tube. The big fish don't like other fish getting big. The fish that want to eat, repeat this for them for a piece of the lunch. Get out of the pond, make music, make videos, make them for you first. <3

This reminds us that creativity is often inspired by what came before us, and that it's okay to draw inspiration from the works of others. We should not be afraid to borrow, to build on, or even to steal from our artistic predecessors to create something truly unique and meaningful. Great job Aflo Media.

Every generation of artists builds upon the work of their predecessors

Great video Harrison, really inspiring! I'd also like to recommend the book "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon which touches on some similar topics as this video đ¤

i wouldn't say it's about being bad at copying someone else. It's more about copying a bunch of artists. Then it doesn't matter if you're good or bad at copying them, you've already made it your own thing by having many different influences specific to you
