Graffiti artists use the stuff of everyday life as their canvas-walls, dumpsters, buses. A stylized representation is placed on an everyday object. In visual art, as in other media, artists take unfiltered pieces of their surroundings and use them for their own means.
From more of an authentic standpoint, this gives off the illusion that inspiration is everywhere for artists even though it has already been created. We ask ourselves again, could this be authentic or not?
playing that form of music, but at some point I felt there was nothing else
This shows that from his perspective it was hard to be authentic because most of that kind of music has already been made.
The original com-position still exists, and the new one dances on top of the old one, like an editor writing notes in the margins.
This gives the idea of authenticity but shows how someone could still create new by being inspired by the old. It's hard to decide whether if you think it is authentic or not.

Not very authentic
‘N SYNC (based on the last letters of their first names)
I had no idea, this is great news. 10/10.

Dylan's particular, personal voice is materially a part of the meaning of his songsin a way which was not possible fifty years before he was born.
This is definitely something that sticks with us even today in modern music. You can't really imagine Eminem singing a Taylor Swift song because he can't relate to it and it would not sound authentic.
and according to the strict laws of metre, does not differ from that of prose, there is a numerous class of critics, who, when they stumble upon these prosaisms, as they call them, imagine that they have made a notable discovery, and exult over the Poet as over a man ignorant of his own profession.
This sounds like TS
Like all arts, lyric is meant to give pleasure– imaginative, linguistic, intellectual, and moral. If one hasn’t enjoyed a poem and been moved by it, one hasn’t really experienced it as an artwork.
This is not necessarily true. Just because you don't like or "enjoy" a certain piece of art, doesn't mean you can't recognize it as art.
