This particular rise of asceticism in this sphere is nothing more than a blind reaction to hedonism and will quickly lead to spiritual burn-out for the few who manage to live it instead of just talk about it, and nothing more than minor guilt for the vast majority of you for lack of dedication. It is a necessary step of the process of spiritual maturation, but I tell you this because when you inevitably find yourself dissatisfied with asceticism, have the wisdom to stop the pendulum. Quiet your soul, walk the Middle Path.
