I'd be pleased to hear your ideas, as artists, but also as "consumers" of art, notably music.
You may have heard about cultural appropriation, which is becoming a thing, even in restaurants. I'm going to a favorite Paris Thai restaurant soon, run by a Frenchman. The food is prepared by Thai, I'm guessing a wife and mother-in-law. Here's a man who probably visited Thailand and fell in love with the food. There are many such stories in America, a man or woman brings something they loved from another culture. This is now being called out by the social justice warriors as cultural appropriation.
If you want to read my opinion, I wrote about it here. In short, I tried to explain how in music, cop and blow, though they didn't call it that in 1930's jazz, has always been how derivative art is created. Someone loves a style and borrows from it.
