society expects people as whole to copy that of which is godlike. It's the first natural urge, cause it's safe. Don't believe me, go to youtube and see that the original to covers ratio is stacked against the originals. Covering a song is in lamens term, lazy. Diverging from common norms will establish you in a position of godlike power in itself and You will inevitably create dependancy among your followers. Don't be fooled by a follower base that has relevance on vanity or the appearance of a follower base. The greatest cultlike figures are the most least expected and their follower base is a given regardless if the connection is visible enough. A subtle relevance in the flow of motion in our interconnected network does the most as far as I'm concerned. Be orignal. Be "over" the influence, not "under"
