I have thought of this more times than I can remember. Could there be a time in music when every new beat has got a replica in the past? When however
you wax a song somebody has already made it exactly before? But I seem to relate this phenomenum with infinity which implies that there must always be
something new no matter what. Something akin to trillions of people living and dead having different finger prints. Oooppps! I am not too sure of
this. It could be there are exact matches of finger print of some modern people with those who worked in the graden of Eden.
Will we run out of music?, page 1

I bet this question has been on almost everybody's mind at least once, you may have asked yourselves when will we run out of ways to make music.
The youtube video bellow will show you how much music we can create with the current posibilities:
I also suggest watching the series Everything is a remix to see why everything we hear sounds almost the same.
And as a bonus check these guys:
I suggest visiting the links in the video description to see just how many songs sound almost the same, its mind blowing!
Cheers!
EDIT: I think this is the wrong forum, so can a moderator move it to the appropriate forum?

As a musician myself, I am forced to consider unusual musical scales, beats and all... otherwise I can rarely do something original. I think there is a possibility music will become either absolutely boring, or, as boredom would mean loss in sales, music might become weirder. Nice food for thoughts.

we are in danger of running out of good music
I saw the video last night and the answer is NO
You don't know what good music is
good music is complex.

Not quite, BS music is encouraged by the big coorporations, there are a lot of underground and indie artists that create a huge amount of good music.

"good music" is entirely subjective and "complex music" is no better or worse than "complex food". Is a Michelin star service meal better than a bacon sandwich? It depends on the person's tastes and their current mood, no answer is right or wrong.
As for will we run out if music... of course not. There's only 26 letters in the Western alphabet yet we're not in any danger of running out of prose.

Mainstream pop music has always targeted the lowest common denominator. People forget that even in the 60s the charts were filled with mundane music. Is it "bad" music? No, it fits it's purpose. It's no objectively "better" or "worse" than any other music. People all to often confuse their subjective tastes with objective facts, giving way to musical elitism which is nothing more than snobbery.

Knew what? You said "good music is complex". This is a nonsensical statement.

True, but we take inspiration from other people's work and we will most surely copy, this slows the originality process which gives us time to create more original music.
