the world cliche isn't really appropriate because it's subjective in it's own nature
I agree with that statement entirely, but as a musician, you want to strive to create new and exciting things I would have thought? I'm quite capable of doing what I think is really cheezy stuff because I'm a big fan of 80's funk. Moog style leads and Funk bass, not necessarily cliched but, to me it sounds like that because it's too scale orientainted and predictable.
I recently wrote some 80's inspired music as an introductory for a friends work related upcoming website, but I was never into it at all. That was just work , and yeah, cliched to the max ( but that was the intention )
Where's the middle ground though? To anyone/audience who knows nothing about music, they might be wanting only solid beats in 4/4 and repetition of elements to dance to and couldn't care less if the whole music was built around a simple minor triad or something?
I reckon that there's a lot of people here who could make money by making music for the masses. Fortunately, people aren't in it for the money, that's not the driving force ( sure if money comes, fair play ) but it's about the reason you started making music, keep true to that and try to be yourself. I see no reason then how the music could ever be cliched.
