it's become waay too popular and drowned in a sea of mediocrity
That's like saying too many people listen to music and it's flooded with mediocrity, there's a lot of really unrelated genres and time periods, and trends that come and go continually, like everything there's a big amount of meh tier work.

Roguelikes. I'm not saying some of the modern roguelites aren't fantastic, there are many that are. But the genre boom has all but pushed traditional roguelikes (NetHack, ADoM, Angband, Brogue, etc) out of the conversation.

Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.
Then they got popular, and people that I didn't really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.
Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.
Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that's how fans are born, and yes some of them aren't there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.
Oooo I saw Ratatat the first time I got high on weed in public. They were incredible! I didn’t realize they got popular!
Maybe not as big as Anon is talking about, but Bob Vylan.
I just heard this name for the first time yesterday. I have no idea what it is, but I was really upset that I didn’t think of that name.

$thing is Warhammer 40k
Yep. Popularity hasn't yet died down, but having a bunch of closed-minded "anti-woke" (i.e. Fascists) people dogpiling onto 40k as though they're begging to be Servitorised in the service of the Emp'rah is... dismaying, to say the least.
Worst part is, one can't even have a conversation with such fans, as they instantly shoot down any and all subjects which they deem even marginally related to "woke stuff," sometimes with disturbing zeal. How such an obvious satirical dystopia can be misinterpreted in such a way is beyond me...

Steampunk aesthetic ( 1990's ), generative art ( early 2000s )
There's literally an episode of Doug where Doug's standard outfit inexplicably becomes super popular. So watch 90s Nick to learn what to do.
