To me, NOTHING is 'new'.
It would be difficult to do art without music (music subsidises the art).
The internet has huge advantages but its downside is the easy access to resources.
Young people are still experiencing the thrill of three chords and over-amplified guitars. They always will.
In my moments of down time I tend to listen to Blues.
Just because you can make an album on a laptop computer in your back bedroom doesn't mean it's going to be any good. Like any 'product', it has to come from a good original idea. There are no shortcuts!
