Why create anything new? There are plenty of paintings, sculptures, movies, tv shows, poems etc in the world. No one could possibly enjoy it all in one life time so why bother creating anything anymore?
The argument could even be extended to essentially non-creative things. Why create new computer programs that do the same thing as the old only faster? Why create new cars that simply look different? Why create new styles of clothing? Why design new buildings simply for the look of them?
I would argue a lack of creation would lead to a stagnating culture. I would say the creation of new art is a sign of a vibrant and dynamic culture.
