Why is this ? anyone.
In your personal opinion, preferably not wikipedia's.
pretty simple actually. the cycle is about 2 decades. the youth of the day don't want to listen to what their older siblings thought was cool, they want their own sound but don't know where to find it... but hearing their older siblings complain about the lame-ness of what preceded them opens the door to checking out the before last 'big' thing.

it's how new wave came about in the 80s to counter the big rock sound of the 70s only to have the kids of the 90s dig on the beefy tones from the 70s only to be replaced by post-everything sounding like 80s new wave and underground again in the early 2000s. it stands to reason that the youth coming of age in the 10s would draw influence from the 90s.
