    I say yes for the music one, maybe not for the first. There are literally different materials being used and increasingly optimised-for-profit-to-effort-ratio processes. Many things are just straight up made more cheaply because we have the technology to do that.

    Although for the music one, a relevant lyric comes to mind:

    Hip hop? Buddy, don’t get me started

    So how do you get yourself charted?

    Kids love this stuff 'cause it’s so new

    Put in a sample from a pop song too

    You’ve got a hit, how come it sold?

    The melody and it’s 30 years old!

      Hip hop is pretty mainstream now but it started as counter culture. And I don’t think a sample in a song makes it similar to the sampled song. A lot of tracks that rely on samples completely create something new. Look at J Dilla who relied almost entirely on samples. His music isn’t a collection of old songs, it’s entirely new songs. I guess this thread is for boomer takes.

        Or the Prodigy, who relied almost entirely on samples yet made some of the most exciting music we had ever heard.
