I think that, whatever anybody wants to do in music, let them do it. There isn't just one path forward. However, not all experimental stuff is progressive, some of it I would go as far as to say is regressive. No one will ever find something totally new, we have to follow a path, but we choose our own path. If we conform to what other people feel is the future and that's not what is in your heart, then we may all have missed out on something good. We have to go our own way... Everyone is right...
