So when someone or something new comes along, it most likely will get masses of followers.

Then more new things come along.
The multitude of of copycats often kill off a movement and certainly dilute the quality of the overall sound, from the heights reached by the original artists. Its most impressive though, when a group comes late onto the scene or at least late to the publics attention and really takes a tired genre, and breathes new life into it, as Sepultura did in the late 80`s with the thrash movement.
