I'm not so sure about something unusual becoming an empty fad. Medieval fairs are enclaves of the different, and yet you don't see every event turning into a medieval fair to dilute the idea. A designated place matters for the experience: you can expect that the door frames and ceilings will be adjusted to accommodate your hats (i.e. no one will require a phone from you to do basic things). You may also expect other people to already be in the same mental space as you, or learning to see the world from a new perspective at the same time as you are.
