So are you trying to tell me that Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers are creative?? No!! They can't even write their own songs. People write their songs for them. Maybe you don't know the meaning of creativity, it means using your imagination to come up with something. Nowadays, most of the youth are just PLAGIARISTS ..... Side: yes

So are you trying to tell me that Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers are creative?? Who said that? These two acts are but a pimple on the arse of the world of creativity. They can't even write their own songs. People write their songs for them. A lot of musicians don't write their own songs, song writing is a skill that a lot of people don't have and performing is another skill that a lot of people do not possess. It's in bringing the two together that magic happens. There are many, many artists from every musical genre, and every medium from photography, writing, sculpture, fashion design, painting, graffiti, etc, that are constantly pushing the boundaries, you just have to go on line and have a look around, I'd advise a site called tuneglue for finding artists that are similar to ones you already know. Stop paying attention to mass media, it was never the place to find good stuff anyway, in any time. Maybe you don't know the meaning of creativity, it means using your imagination to come up with something. Or maybe you don't know creativity when you see it, have you ever heard of Banksy, the man has single handedly made Graffiti into a sought after art form, ever listened to a genre other than pop, try Dubstep, it's warped bass heavy lo-fi vintage synth noodlieness. Check out c2c a DJ collective that make four turntables sound like an actual band. J Scott Campbell, turns modern comic book art heroines and fairy tale characters into sexy pinups. Pixar are taking computer animation to brilliant new heights with every film they produce. I could go on but I feel that it'd be a waste of my time. Nowadays, most of the youth are just PLAGIARISTS ..... Quite a broad generalization there. All artists and creative people borrow from previously creative people, it's how it evolves. Think about it like this, when has an artist of any repute ever made something that wasn't at all like something else? What would it be called? It couldn't be recognized, and wouldn't be accepted. So instead of whining about it go and have a look around, there is so much out there to be discovered. That's the beauty of the Internet, it brings unknowns into the known without middle men clogging up the creativity of the artist with rules imposed to make the maximum profit. Side: No

Are you suggesting the youth of yesterday were overflowing with creativity? I don't see evidence for this at all. If anything, thanks to technology, the youth of today have more means to be creative than were available in the past; many of them use those means daily. Search youtube and see how many videos are made by kids, search myspace and see how many young bands there are. Those are just the examples from the world of the internet, the real world contains constant creativity from all corners. Also other people that are commenting saying that the jonas bothers and co are not creative are just wrong. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they are not creative. In fact, the very fact that you have an opinion on them means they must be at least somewhat different to what has come before and therefore creative. Side: No
