It's not new. It's actually old to the degree that it has anthropological significance.

So basically it’s like the high school kids in the 90’s who were “seriously into Buddhism”. Looking into another culture for a way for desperately uninteresting people to try to be interesting, got it.

This is about putting the 2 into the alphabet soup, not about the anthropological meaning, which is interesting but I wonder if perhaps over emaphasized and romanticized.
