anyone writing their owns songs struggle with breaking away from a certain influence?
example
I was a massive radiohead fan from 11-15 now everything I write sounds like radiohead, kinda pisses me off but for some reason the next step I take most of the time leads my songs to sound like radiohead, often when I lazily write. I have listened to tons of different artists since then but still end up writing radioheadish shit
Just make a metal song, readiohead dont make no metal man

Make it a bit less radioheadish and it'll be original enough
write a powerful song
>>71754276
write a song that doesn't sound weak as fuck
that should work
like, make punk rock, or industrial rock, or metal or anything with balls really
there's no way you can make a ballsy song sound like radiohead

Add a distorted 4 to the floor kick drum into the background and list is as #experimental

Just listen to other things.
You say that like that's not something 50% of people would love

>everything ballsy is supposed to sound like Godflesh, early Swans, Whitehouse and Black Flag
I just try to throw together 3 or 4 of my favorites to the point where it's roughly something unique.
I think you need to be obsessed with several bands at certain times in your life. My influences come out all together in a unique-ish sound because its a mesh of all the bands i like or have liked when i had completely different taste.
