Every fad gets taken to an extreme. For instance 17" wheels were cool, then people just kept trying to outdo the previous and we get to wheels that are so large that they become impractical. Same with lowering. But at least with that there is a limiting factor....the ground. Even Facebook, that once upon a time cool little site for college kids has peaked out into a monster and is now on the decline.

People now buy jeans with ready made holes in them, so once you see them deliberately creating patina on late model rides, I'd say you can pretty much determine that the fad is ending.
