We live in an overcomparative culture. What's the mean, you ask?
Simple. All people want to do nowadays with innovative stuff and brand new stuff is compare it to old shit, NOT judge it on it's own merits.
Every time anyone comes out with something new, there's always that irritating now-mainstream attitude of "That's nice....have you heard of the other, more blatantly established OLD SHIT??" No one looking at new stuff you or anyone else makes wants to give innovation or new things the time of day.
Why ARE people so obsessed with what exists (not what just got made up by the innovators) anyway?
IT'S ANNOYING!
I suppose that's what I'm saying. Plenty of people do new things. But the media only seems to want to acknowledge what they're already familiar with, regardless of how cutting edge, beautiful, or innovative a new concept or thing is that get produced by un-established names. Part of it has to do with trust. Most people would rather trust things they know than things that don't have proven results or a track record of "proven" success.
New is valuable and important. It drives and evolves society. But new, innovative, and pioneering is not popular with the public. Most newly innovative, and pioneering individuals ARE treated like "The bad guys" because conservative society, the established status quo is comfortable with what's old and proven, NOT with what's new and progressive. Old shit has way TOO MUCH POWER.
