Inspiration for Composition
If you write music, what do you use for inspiration? I have been learning a little about music theory, and while I feel I've grown in my knowledge, I can't seem to find anything to inspire me.

Same approach when I need inspiration for both the music I make or the games I make:
Just stop working on your material for a while. Spend time playing interesting games/listening to good music. Explore and don't worry about inspiration. Then it will come on it's own. You can't force a genuine feeling of being inspired to create. Just go and explore music instead. Maybe even for several weeks. |
If you're looking for something more "about" the art of music, then I highly recommend Rick Beato's Youtube channel:

Do you mean for lyrics, or for the music itself? Or, both?

I second Mic's suggestion, when I try and force myself to come up with music it doesn't end up as good. Listening to a variety of music helps, and eventually I'm sure something will inspire you to come up with something of your own.
Usually the kinds of riffs I come up with vary upon what kind of music I've been listening to lately. When I'm in a creative funk and just can't come up with anything worth keeping while jamming, I usually just take a break or play other songs just to keep in practice. I like having go-to songs to play when I just can't come up with anything, the main one for me being Anthrax's "Caught in a Mosh" with how fun it is on bass. |

I find that if I don't try to squeeze my brain for ideas, I get all sorts of good ideas at the most random times. I like to keep paper and pen next to my bed, because I sometimes get ideas just before I'm falling asleep. |

Thank you for the suggestion. It tells me I'm headed down the right track. |
Or just take drugs

Go for the drugs/boredom/depression trifecta.
