Can you give an example of something that actually was innovative, that no-one called innovative?
The spoked wheel.
Interestingly, it looks as if nothing was really called innovative before 1960, with usage peaking in 2000, and its now in decline

Peaking in 2000 seems odd - I see or hear that word daily and that definitely wasn't the case back in 2000. Interesting!
