Why does it seems like we heard it all and make it seems like every form of note is taken but we’re still finding/creating something new?

Well mathematically speaking you can only have a finite amount of different music (if you set a finite time limit and merge extremely similar sounds into one).
But the number of combinations is so big that you can’t really grasp it.
My goto example here is a deck of 52 cards. It can be sorted in more ways than there are atoms in the observable universe.
Or for music lets take a very simplified song of 3 minutes with just 5 different notes playing, one note each second. That already makes 5^180 different songs. Thats a number with 125 digits. More than there are atoms in the universe if every atom in our universe contained another universe.
