Not necessarily. After all, Americans lived quite happily without SUVs for most of the 20th century. (Except for a few special-purpose things like the International Travelall.) It took a massive advertising campaign to get the fad started. Apply the same sort of advertising to something else, and the majority will happily jump on to the new fad.
