al creativity starts with learning the moves, the tropes, and getting inspired. There's a reason Brahms' 1st symphony sounds like Beethoven that it's often called Beethoven's 10th, but his 5th much less so...

I would argue that it is flair, because it's a move you don't see on the pitch very often (and with good reason). It's almost always unnecessary and a way of saying "Hey, look at me!". Maybe you're saying it's not original? I would agree with that.
