Music would not change at all if artists never looked to find a variety finding inspiration from a mix of genres.
It is why I can go from ABBA to Ice T to Margo Price to Rush, to Paula Abdul, to Metallica to Kool And The Gang, to Living Color to Harry Connick Jr, The Isley Brothers, to occasionally some classical music.
I think most humans get stuck on what they grow up with as far as music. But again, music never would have evolved if artists never looked around and tinkered and sampled other genres.
