throughout music history and not only electronic music you can see many many hypes... so it's really nothing out of the ordinary, only that it has some undesired side-effects, like the hyped term that is getting more and more driven away from its original meaning...
the best thing to do is just relax, light a spliff, put on a record (any record), make a few extra bucks of the hype and as Public Enemy once so clearly put it "don't believe the hype!"
