Your 4th paragraph is very accurate. No one gets big by copying or emulating. Of course you will have influences and certain sounds/rhythms/instruments influenced from different artists or styles, but the main difference is what intention and purpose you chose to have that in your own track. I used to think to myself a lot, "ok how do i make this part here attractive to the mainstream or public; what sound would be best here, how would people react best to this section right here", but nah, what you really gotta do is just do exactly how you hear it would want to hear it. One thing that's obviously important is to build your "taste" by listening a lot, and not just to one genre, but other genres of electronic music and music in general as well (if you want to be innovative).

I totally get what you're saying too about afraid of making stuff people don't like. We have good taste, otherwise we wouldn't be into making music. Make the music that your heart sings and you'll succeed.
wooo!!!
