I am a follower of my own imagination and creativity. I might even be my only fan. Does that make me a leader or a follower? :)

Probably, but what about the "little people" episode, or "musical cabins" starring Michele Lee as faux celebrity Irenie Germaine?

At the back, of course! The line was already there when I found it. I'm no line-jumper, thank you very much!

True originality is rare. The vast majority of music is a mash-up of various elements that have been used many times before. So, unless one is unusually talented and creative, destiny is to be a follower, not a leader. Doesn't mean the music is any less enjoyable. When actual originality is combined with true talent, the results are memorable and remain unique even as many others come along trying to do the same thing.

What is interesting is when a leader tries to grow artistically, and the existing fans are largely unhappy because they want more of the original, not something else that may (or may not) also be original. Some leaders have a limited amount of creative originality, whereas others can keep creating music that either adds nicely to their existing body of work or can forge new paths that will leave some fans behind but add new ones.

Basically, 98 percent of musicians are followers even as they try to be original. It really comes down to which ones do a better job of it.
