I totally get this. There was nothing like it and now there's a handful of groups playing banjos and dressing like Amish people and Minonites. Same thing, however, can be said for grunge in the early 90's (Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarder, Pearl Jam) and thrash in the early-mid 80's (Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax). Success begets success and one group can kick start a pervasive movement as it seems Mumford and Sons with the acoustic, modern singer/songwriter genre.
