Microtonal music has always been academic and esoteric, but the band Angine de Poitrine made microtonal music the new rage, which misrepresents the nature of microtonal music in ethnic genres. It's like attempting to make classical music popular with gimmicks. Over time, it becomes kitsch. Although it did work somewhat in the 60s and 70s, when artists were being influenced by Indian music. But it was always reverent. It wasn't that bands were dressing in Indian fashions as a costume.
