I see what you're saying, but I think "style" has a whole different meaning. I agree though. Some people go round shops etc and see the recurring theme in them and think it's the "fashion must have". Like you say, "the mainstream". Buyers do it, and then push their views onto the market. And then normally the vast majority of the market buys it. Well that's my opinion.
