'originality is dead'

who lied and said 'originality is dead? i'm seeing this phrase all over the place and it's so negative. my friends were talking about it the other day and all agreeing with it, even i was, and i think that's very sad; we're only 14 years old and it's us who will one day be adults capable of changing the world (maybe we are now but idk, school etc.). when there's a whole world full of stuff to do and discover, i don't think it's right that young people should just accept that our options are limited and we must just pass all of our exams and get a job to make lots of money to provide for our families. our brains are capable of so much and we need to maintain that, expand them. i don't know why we (humans) hear something and just accept it. it's like we're discouraged from a young age to question things. i saw a picture the other day that said something about being told the half truth and believing the wrong half and it just made me think. in my opinion originality isn't dead, it's just harder to achieve since it seems like everything has been done. and because of what i think is this illusion, people aren't so shocked by really amazing ideas and don't try to make their own. or maybe they think of these ideas and wait for other people to do them. this could be the case. i was at my aunty's house yesterday with some of her friends and their kids, we talked the whole night, and at one point my aunty said it would be nice to hear conscious rap music sung over an african beat. then i thought why don't you do it? one of her friends that was there is a musician. everything is so strange, people are like robots just accepting this crazy system that programmes us to be the same. idek. i feel like my thoughts make no sense and i wonder if i'm naive and/or ignorant and if anything i say or think is relevant or even matters. i really annoy myself sometimes but i just want to make something great of myself. i don't like posting on sundays, but i need somewhere to put my jumbled thoughts before my head explodes, whether they make sense or not.

the underacheivers make such perfect music omg, the lyrics just leave me in awe
