I want to make music but every time I try to write something I end coming up with something that sounds super generic. What do you do to make your songs sound unique?
if i need things to be more unique, i try to pull a brief prank and do something bad on purpose. then, what usually happens is, the music will try to get revenge by getting good again. and the pathway back should be unique because the bad thing it's returning from was usually pretty unique. this is because there are way more bad things than good things, WHICH IS NOT TRUE but that is what the 'generic' trap would have you believe. this is dis-proven by the music as it comes frolicking back, and this is the nature of the prank you see. it's like a game of fetch. want the dog to run a unique path? throw the object to a unique place. it doesn't matter if it's a 'good' place, the pathway BACK will be good, because it's returning to you
