Looking back, the last century gave us an explosion of raw creativity—new art movements, groundbreaking music genres, revolutionary design philosophies. Fast forward to today? We're living in an age of endless remixes and reboots. Everything feels like a callback, a nostalgic nod to what came before, just wrapped in digital packaging.
It's not that innovation is dead—it's just wearing a different costume. We're taking fragments from the past, mashing them up with new tech, and calling it fresh. Sometimes it works brilliantly. Other times, it feels like we're stuck in a loop, scrolling through the same references over and over.
Maybe that's the trade-off of having infinite access to everything that's ever been created. Originality becomes harder when the entire cultural archive is just a click away.

To be honest, nowadays creativity is just repackaging old things, dressing them up with some tech and daring to call it innovation. The aesthetic fatigue is overwhelming.

To be honest, this is probably the price of information overload—when you can find everything, you end up unable to create anything.

NGL, what you said is spot on, but at the end of the day, isn’t it all because of the rat race? The cost of creativity is too high, while copying, modifying, and assembling is the cheapest option.

It’s really just information overload that numbs people; genuine creativity has already been drained dry.

Nah, this is the truth about the creative exhaustion in Web3. We're all just rehashing old stuff.
