It has been brewing slowly for some time. The first whiff came in the late 1980s with some “progressive” churches. It grew when people started to really buy into the “If it feels good it MUST be okay” shtick.

Oh...it has been around for a long time.

It has just been recently re-introduced and made popular, again, through the Purpose Driven Life (Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, etc.) and also the emergent church (Brian McLaren, Tony Campolo, Jim Wallis and etc.).

We should have expected it:
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2Timothy 4:3

lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. 2Timothy 3:4,5

I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. Acts 20:29,30
