Replying to Originality

In the edits/shorts section, and possibly the best one at that, I noticed that a lot of people are starting and going to use songs that where used in ski movie teasers such as the 17 Years song. Now my question to those kids is that is it so friggen hard to find an original song to use? It's cool and everything if you're having fun with it but to be honest if you want to have any chance of progressing as a film producer/editor/ whatever you seek, you need to learn to seach and find original songs because if you just re-use the same ones already out there it just takes away the impact from the film.
