It will swing back. It must.

I'm not acquainted with the world that adores Hirst. However, they seem to have a solid foundation for their community, and plenty of outlets to support their messaging.

I'm sure that the internet and virality plays a role in this transformation of the art world. These days communities can't be quiet and grow and evolve without the constant threat of catching on. 'Catching on' is always in the back of everyone's mind.
