From my perspective, every I do is derivative, right down to brushing my teeth.

It happens all the time.
I hear it on the bandstand at every gig I play. Rock, pop, country, even jazz. Sometimes I hear it from guys that have won Grammys. I hear it from me. Musicians stop thinking and listening and the life just leaves the music.

In regards to atonal music, your best bet is to go to any university and attend "Contemporary Music" concerts. More specifically, at the University of North Texas (my alma mater) that would be concerning the NOVA ensemble (atonal) or the CEMI (computer) music program. In general, any Ivory Tower is a perfect place for one to find substandard works from both faculty and graduate students that academically succeed on one level but fall short of expressing that magic.
