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.
