There doesn't seem to be anything going on that is totally without precedent.

here is a better question, has anybody ever been really innovative then? is there one band that totally reinvented music by making a sound that has no predecessors?
cause even in the 60's, and 70's and 80's, the music that was brilliants, came from somewhere else.
as stravinsky said (paraphrasing)
in order to innovate one must take the old, and make it new....
i cannot think of one band who's sound came from completely out of the blue...
