Originality

Script 

Something that is stressed in tonnes of reviews and criticism's is whether a piece of work is original or not. "Is this original? Where's the originality? This is not original enough"

However does originality really affect your enjoyment?

Everyone now-a-days wants to be classed as "original"; from the fashion industry with their ridiculously unwearable clothes to your everyday hipster trying to produce the most complicated cup of starbucks coffee, to then share of instagram.

But I ask, why?

If it already works, why change it? 

Is this 21st century label, originality, really important enough to throw away something that could potentially impress or be enjoyed by hundreds, maybe even millions of people? If everything was so different, so original, none of us would be able to connect. 

Everyone is different in their own unique way, but it is the things we share; our personalities, our looks, our background, that truly unite us.

So why be original when we can just be ourselves.
