Thanks?
It's worth expanding on that I think. Some cliches are profound. I don't think this poem is profound. But, my point is that how unique something is has no artistic value.
"Talent" has no artistic value.
Being "jaded" is to be ignorant of things that remind you of a bias that you have, based on complacency.
When I was playing music, the criticism I encountered a lot was that it all sounds the same. But, all opera sounds the same if you are not very perceptive. So, essentially, there is "stuff I think is music" and "experiments". The comment is then that, that experiment has already been tried so go back to what I think is music.
Two "experiments" will likely have some common tendencies, just as "stuff that is music" will have common tendencies.
There are other things to criticize something about that are more articulate than that it is typical. Allowing for "less talent" in art, to be acepted as art, does not make them all equal. If an idea that is being expressed is for the purpose of seeking acceptance in some sort of trend, that has on artistic value and it is useful to have it pointed out where that is happening.
