Inventions are made by combining existing material in a novel way to create a new product, which does something new, or does something in a new way at least. As for musical styles, even though new styles are created by taking elements of other musical styles, each new style that emerges could still be said to have been 'invented'. Why? Its the way in which you put the component parts (the individual sounds) together that constitutes the 'inventing' and doesn't require the existence of any new parts.
