/mu/, as any other board with a culture, was "trendy", creating personalities like fantano, or popularizing stuff like pitchfork and rym, because people came there and wanted to contribute to it.
Imagine you trying to make a conversation lively: "have you heard about X?", "where should I start with Y?", "I've got Z feeling, any music that matches the vibe?".
This is how you create a board culture. The more you talk about a certain X, Y and Z, the more you have a distinct taste.
Normies who came here think that that distinct taste is what makes you a /mu/tant, a /lit/ter, a /tv/ fan (maybe, I don't go there).
They think if you are not listening to /mu/core right now for the rest of your life, you are not a /mu/tant.
They don't know that /mu/core is supposed to be anything that shouldn't be recommended when you ask about a certain genre, because that's supposed what you have already consumed beforehand.
But this didn't last very long, since normies don't know that.
So a book like Infinite Jest was new and interesting in 2010, but normalfaggots thought that spamming about it because "it's what a /lit/bro reads (at least that's what I've been told when I first came to the website)", so now on /lit/ people don't even know what litfic is, but they will glaze DFW anyway.
Similarly, what happened with fantano: normalfaggots care about his opinion because he is supposed to be /mu/core, even if everyone know that he is catering to the tiktok mob, i.e. a crowd that is even more normie than them. But they still cling to his old status, because otherwise they will need to form their own identity, and that is fucking scary, because you will have to be a lonely motherfucker for quite some time. And if at 15 you are trying to fit in (so newfags will keep practically killing the board by conforming to the board culture), while at 30 you are too old to change anything in your life (and you try to cope by saying that there nothing new or good under the sun).
