today means being inundated with each other&#8217;s takes and images every second of every day. With this relentless overexposure, the visual similarities that pop up amongst artists can often inspire loud accusations of creative copying. Sure, these are often silly moments of internet fodder, but they raise meaningful questions: Are visual similarities between artists coincidence, inspiration, or creative theft? And what\u2019s the real line between each?\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Earlier this week, New York City artist Alexandra Drewchin, who goes by Eartheater, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DTN4CC7EZ5C\/?img_index=1\">posted<\/a> a since-deleted Instagram carousel that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared to show evidence of other artists ripping off her work. Sharing the album cover to her 2020 album <i>Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin<\/i>, which depicts a blaze of sparkles shooting out from her rear end, she followed that with a recent picture of Robyn with a blurred bottom also emanating sparkles. She posted another similar photo concept from electronic artist LSDXOXO on the cover of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/kingkongmagazine.com\/product\/king-kong-issue-18-lsdxoxo\/\">King Kong magazine.<\/a>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            The online reaction to the carousel, which also implicated Katy Perry and Megan Thee Stallion, was im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely unsparing, accusing Drewchin of falsely claiming ownership over broad visual concepts like utilizing sparklers and the use of text on garments. Sure, it\u2019s entirely possible that Robyn saw Drewchin\u2019s photos and was inspired to do the same. But how would one go to prove that, and would it even be an ethical misstep?\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-276806\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">i know this person isn\u2019t suggesting meg copied them? \ud83d\ude2d babe who even are you <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hbqpe7KXpn\">pic.twitter.com\/hbqpe7KXpn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u2661\ud83e\udd87 (@sadhotgirI) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sadhotgirI\/status\/2009203402278858898?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-276808\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Intellectual property theft is one of the oldest and most serious accusations, but only recently has it entered the murky realm of aesthetics and creative concepts.

In July 2025, Arca vented to fans in a Discord about \u201cAlibi\u201d singer Sevdaliza and her collaborations with Arca\u2019s frequent collaborator, Spanish artist Carlos S\u00e1ez, suggesting that Sevdaliza was broadly mirroring her aesthetic and ideas (they both utilized \u201cexo-skeletons\u201d in their art). Similarly, in 2016, singer Marina claimed that Charli xcx\u2019s fragrance campaign contained some <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/that-froot-looks-familiar\">\u201cfamiliar froots.\u201d<\/a>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            As a pattern, these sorts of internet accusations usually blow up in the face of the accuser.

That clarity doesn\u2019t easily extend to the more ambiguous \u201ccreative mood board,\u201d especially in the age of the internet, when all of us are stuck in the loud lunch room together.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            We are on the same platforms, and are largely visually assaulted with the same trending topics, videos, images and songs. At the same time, we don\u2019t know exactly what each of us are seeing, given that our algorithms are slightly attuned to each of our own interests. We are in a collective digital space, but with technological blinders on. Without concrete evidence of plagiarism, to assume one\u2019s artistic peers must be seeing one\u2019s work and thus any similarity must indicate outright replication, is almost impossible to prove.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            The obsession over the ownership of aesthetics speaks to the (over)importance of creative direction in culture right now, one that in many cases overshadows the substance of the art itself. For musicians, sharing their work on social media means not just competing with their musical counterparts for consumers\u2019 attention, but with every piece of content posted on the internet. In this playing field, the immediate aesthetics of your work \u2014 and what it communicates about your art and worth as an artist \u2013 matters more than anything. One could argue that the instantly recognizable aesthetic and perfectly executed mass marketing of Charli xcx\u2019s <i>brat<\/i> contributed just as much to the album\u2019s success as its music.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-276811\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Aesthetics is everything in culture today, and fans and artists are just as tuned into the minutiae of roll outs and visual presentation as they are the music. In this competitive, brutal, and mind numbing attention economy, it makes sense that any kind of aesthetic encroachment would feel like a threat, even if it\u2019s ultimately misguided.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            This isn\u2019t to say creative plagiarism isn\u2019t a real thing. One particularly glaring example of it is K-pop artists Soyeon and R.tee\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/popculturechat\/comments\/1o4x6uf\/french_singer_yseult_calls_out_kpop_singers\/\">seemingly shot-by-shot recreation<\/a> of French artist YSEULT\u2019s video for \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJgh_D379jU\">B*TCH YOU COULD NEVER<\/a>.\u201d The similarities between the two are overwhelming and indisputable, sending this case into highly unethical territory.
