Being original is just part of being alive. Everyone is original or displays originality throughout their life. Their viewpoints, thoughts, perspectives and yes even art is original. I know its become very sexy to conceptualize or idealize originality as some others have already done, so I won't bother, frankly because I lack the talent to do so. But, I will say that no matter how much of a brain-dead, droned-out, clone of person one is or could be, at some point they have thought or done something original and unique even of its on the smallest of scales.
Far as music goes....who can really say,most really cool music seems original, until you inevitably hear another band that was doing something remarkably similar and perhaps better 10/20/30 yrs before. Then we get into influences and then we get into who started what and then we get into who did it better and I have not enough hard booze for this type of discussion.
