Say you had a song with a melody that is mostly a descending diatonic mode like the start of this for example

How similar would another songs melody have to be to this to be considered "fishy" even if its still mostly just a descending mode ( dorian in this case)
know any other songs that have a similar descending melody?
here is a good example too

>Will we even run out of diatonic melodies?
Short answer; Yes
Long answer; Yes but it'll take a long time. We'll all be dead by then, so who cares.
Won't be a problem for future generations anyhow. They won't be listening to music with notes at all.
Yes, but it will take way longer to run out of ways to express those melodies. Like you've heard of covers that are able to completely change how the original song felt, eventually people will just be doing that without calling them covers.

why
>>66035095
I don't think microtonal music will ever be mainstream
>>66036029
Normies may one day tire of listening to I V VI IV pop music, but I don't think it will happen for a while
When it does it will lead to changes of composition rather than an abandonment of the traditional Western tonal system
Who knows about 1000 or 10000 years from now though
The question isn't whether we'll run out of new music, it's whether we'll run out of new, distinguishable styles of music.
