I heard a story about how modern pop music is written, many of the writers have tiny little chunks of a song that are then pushed together into a coherent whole. Literally written by committee.
The problem is twofold: first, with high fidelity music recordings going back 80 years and low fidelity music recordings going back 100, you're competing with a century of recorded works. On the other hand, the first recordings ever finally entered the public domain just this year. You can't have music with influences because you'll get sued into oblivion so you either have music that's generic and vetted by a crack team of lawyers or music that's so strange nobody can claim you copied from anywhere.
