Everyone has heard rock, pop, techno, disco, funk, metal, country, rap etc. I believe, with the surge of creative original artists, that new genres will come and push some 'stale' genres out.

Those are some of the more 'palatable' artists that are coming out with neat new stuff. Some people will find it hard to appreciate 'new' music at first... but often it grows on them.

Remember, there's nothing wrong with liking 'old' or 'mainstream' stuff... but it doesn't hurt to explore a bit and leave your comfort zone. You might find something you really like.

For this thread, let's share some really original stuff... whether it be paintings, music, writing, or whatever.

p.s. I use mainsteam/stale/original all as generalities. They mean different things to different people, and I understand that. Please don't turn this into some argument over who likes what, whats original, or whats good. Just keep it civil and share the love by showing original expressions in various arts.
