An art form becomes more popular -> more people start to do it.

More people do something -> more duffers are doing it.


Maybe I'm just perverse, but I like things that are obscure and 
challenging. In my own work I tend to stop doing something as soon as 
it becomes too familiar. If looping gets too popular I'll probably 
stop doing it out of boredom.
