What I'm saying is that up to the end of the eighties there seemed to be new types of music being discovered/developed all the time, but since then there has been nothing new. Everything nowadays seems to have it's roots in something that happened before 1990.
I take your point about all music being in some way derivative, but can you really tell me that you have heard music that sounds like nothing you've heard before in the last 18 years?
