Really, at the time when the most revolutionary music came out, everybody at that time would say it would never last and it can never take over their beloved (style.) I personally try to experiment with as many different feels and textures as I can. I remember when I first started, when I was around 12 or 13, I would just be making weird sounds and disjointed drum beats. But looking back on this, it wasn't just noise, it was me figuring out how to make the software work, on top of figuring out what sounded bad and good. I'm not saying every song has to be a Frank Zappa album, but don't let your self get locked up in to songwriting habits.

+1 Well put
