So - it goes something like this:
Bikes became; they were good - on rough roads, they were better with fat tyres. Bikes became popular; therefore, roads improved; so bikes with fat tyres weren't needed by most; some retro grouches kept building them anyway, because they could (and their roads were not that good and didn't go where they wanted to anyway).
[Some wars happened and people focussed on things other than bikes]
Bikes prevailed. Bikes got people around.
A few people tried to sell the bikes that they were building with fat tyres because they loved their bikes and wanted others to love their bikes, and still make money to eat.
People liked bikes with fat tyres because the bikes were comfortable and could go places. And now that life was easier, they had time to do shit that didn't involve fighting wars or getting food.
Many bikes with fat tyres were made, and bought: some were ridden.
Some guys with memories and beer habits tried to remember why they liked bikes with fat tyres. Some said it was because of the fantastic sport; others remembered riding through puddles or down a hill, maybe up one. A few had pictures of themselves and a fat-tyred bike in a strange place. All were convinced that bikes with fat tyres defined the limits of civilisation.
They can't all be wrong: bikes with fat tyres define the limits of civilisation. And while civilisation prevails, there can be no need to define what makes a fat-tyred bike.
