New trend?

I’m new to the hobby but recently came across a couple scapes with “waterfalls” shown below. Is this a new trend? What are your thoughts? I find it pretty cool.

Not so much a trend here in the states. You can search YouTube for How To Videos on this. I've watched a few DIY videos myself.
