| 6. | imaginertia | ||
|
adj.
1: A disinclination to think imaginatively. 2: A block to one's imagination and originality caused by lack of inspiration; an inert imagination. Imaginertia occurs when one's imagination becomes inert, e.g. it stops working. The scientific explanation is that there is no true originality. All creative thoughts are comprised of what the mind already knows and how it reorganises that knowledge to create an entirely new thought (otherwise known as using one's imagination). When lacking an inspiring source one is prone to imaginertia, but it can pass as quickly as it comes. After several days of doing nothing and getting nowhere, the inventor realised he was suffering from imaginertia.
Despite previous signs of originality, the comedian fell flat. The audience saw his imaginertia and sighed. |

| 7. | Trent Reznor | ||
|
A musical pioneer and visionary, and likely the most technologically innovative artist to date.
As leader (singer/songwriter) of Nine Inch Nails, Reznor not only garnered success early in his career, but managed to stay ahead of the curve as decades passed. Where others in the past have neither understood nor embraced technology (i.e. Metallica's Lars Ulrich suing Napster in 2000), Reznor uses it to his advantage at any ample opportunity. Today, he writes, records, produces and markets his music on his terms. This process always involves a computer, the Internet or both. His music has always and continues to shine light on the ugly aspects of human existence. Common themes are broken love, betrayal, lost faith and drug addiction. His most prolific work to date is "Year Zero," a concept album taking place 15 years in the future, where a citizen in the dystopic nightmare finds solace in various heartwarming and destructive human characteristics. Reznor said rap drum beats from classic hip hop artists inspired his compositions on this album, a new direction for Reznor and mainstream rock (quite possibly a new form of "rap rock," or more appropriately titled "rock rap").
