It's not just the ease of imitation, it is also the inherent biases in the language. Regardless of the cleverness of mashing things up or musical jokes, there is always a degree of juvenility or frivolity to the concept itself that makes it less versatile to express certain serious ideas as straightforwardly within the wider cultural realm. The toolkit itself is limiting, and the invention less universally applicable because they are specialized clever tricks in each case. It's like the difference between Ramanujan and Einstein. Self-propagating influence is a validation of either universality or foundational depth. Now, is inimitable cleverness done 1000 times a greater achievement? I'm not sure.
