That's Creativity, not Self-Expression.
You remind me of those music students who say, "I don't want to learn
music, I just want to learn to play the..." (fill in the instrument

If one is capable of creativity, then surely that becomes the form
one's "self-expression" will take. If one is incapable of it, then
this discussion is meaningless.
Look at it this way: if one suppresses one's creativity, in the name
of some personal perception of "history" or possibly out of fear of
public opinion, does one not also supress one's own emotional
expression?

The term "self expression" can refer to the phenomenon of taking
a bunch of notes and makng "music" out of them.
