my question is does the motif always have to be taken from the main melody ,like rhythmicly ,or can a motif work that is a bit different rhythmicly but in the same key ,just wondering.
I went online and a lot of songs motifs sound so close to the main melody if anyone has made a track or know of a track that differs a bit from the main melody let me know.

mines are usually completely different from the main melody although in the same key.

Possibly, you can call it whatever you want, but everyone else on the planet calls it the 'motif'.

a good example of motif is how on NIN's fragile trent uses a similar melody throughout the album. not exactly the same but the same notes. a motif doesnt have to be tonal though. it can be a cool sample of rythmic section. but a motif isnt looped the entire song. its just pulled in when there is supossed to be a strong point of the song.

Yep perfect example of a motif. And to the OP no it doesn't have to be the main melody but make sure you keep it in key. Unless you're specifically going for discordance.
