Which is probably more a reflection of our age-ism and the fact that 'hot new approach' is typically embraced as 'hot' and 'new' by people who were in primary school the last time it was popular.
That said, as long as people are throwing out 'the way' for something else, I think that counts as a revolution. Regardless of whether the new thing is actually new.
Neither democracies nor republics were particularly 'new' in the late 18th century. But their popular re-application was still a pretty big deal.
