yes and no. even the weird stuff tends to draw from traditional resources in its initial stages. from my perspective it seems that the majority of 'weird' musicians have an idea of where the mainstream flows and where the tributary of weird stuff they like branches off. they're able to recognize the level of deviation between those two elements then tend to apply a similar amount of deviation to their own style from within the established tributary they chose to admire.
as for the recyclability of pop music...
