and of course we live in a hypersaturated media environment, your influences are going to inspire you... but major works typically resonate because they have a unique vision which draws from the creator's life rather than a series of recognizable tropes ("liminal spaces," "cozy vibes," etc.)

My writing is absolutely driven by music though.
