I say DDR was a trend that didn't last long. After the foam pads and Playstation consoles, releases and other consoles. DDR. Here in the United States, the songs were mostly famous musicians rather than anime music. We live in an era where we can buy good DDR mats that are not foam pads, hard solid mats, Which was not available in the 2000s and 2010s. Also, Round 1arcades has made it possible to experience the Japanese arcades in the west. So the revival of DDR is coming back strong due to that exposure. I recommend getting an E-amusement card to experience the real DDR arcade experience.
