Don't imitate just create!

I don't get it. When people see something or someone thats completely original their initial thoughts should be "damn if they can do their own thing then i can do my own thing." Unfortunately they don't.

people see someone doing something original and instead of doing their own thing (which most of the time is what the artist encourages people to do) they just imitate. I applaud people who are doing their own thing and aren't copycats and we are just so fortunate to have major artists who are famous because of their originality (i.e lady gaga, kid cudi, the cool kids, jay-z, slipknot, etc.).

If you ever had a conversation with these artists or watched an interview they have all said "When people see me i want them to take note that I am a person who does their own thing, and they shouldn't try to imitate me thats not what i want, i want them to be themselves thats what I'm doing"

Finally, people get sick of seeing, hearing or even feeling the same thing over and over. This stands for film, photography, visual art, music, fashion, anything! so just do you. "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation" Those are words to live by...
