I get that alot. ^_^'
Here's a response from an email. I'm getting sick of typing it out, so now; every time someone asks... I'm just copy pasting...
"Actually, to be completely honest, I like to think of myself as more of a restoration artist, than a remix artist. Some songs I do remix, but mostly, I attempt to re-capture the original impact that the song had; if not amplify it. If you think that's a waste of time, then take a look at the numbers of some of my downloads. There's alot of demand for it, even if you yourself don't care. I personally enjoy listening to realistic versions of classic songs I grew up with. Who cares whether or not it's creative, if people enjoy it?
Plus, the main reason I started an account as LightOtaku (aside to prove that remix/restoration artists get more attention than original ones), was to better understand the workings of orchestral music. When I restore a song, I take the midi... Disect it... Look at every individual part, and I experiment with it. I take a look at what emotional effects certain instruments have, and why they have said effect. I do this to better my own original work."
