I say yes, a scene can exist without being hyped & picked up on .. but only out of lack of interest - not because the scene is too accesible.

I don't think anyone's over-exposing and over-hyping the Bulgarian Folk Music Revival scene (if one exists, and I imagine it does.) Here you're just going to get people arguing semantics; what does "scene" mean, and at what time does something become "overhyped"?
Anything can exist whether people know about it or not; I'd argue that "some friends hanging out" is as equal to "a scene" as anything else is.

Manchester (UK) is not as strong musically as 1989, but there is scene.
Nothing happens by accident and any hype or emerging scene has to have a v good leading light to be a catalyst who bring a load of sub-versions with them.
For some reason - short of feature ideas usually - journalists mistaken musical gene pools in geographical terms. Ask yourself this - Who do bands know? Other bands dummy. So blow me when they are interviewed and they drop their friends band in the conversation. A new scene is born.
See Elbow wearing Moco t-shirts. Moldy Peaches mentioning everybody whoever played in the Side Walk Cafe. Detroit bands who know or a tipped by Jack White and so on and so on.
