Here in HN we can elevate ourselves above these looped fashion styles.
A way to do that is to find something that is old but not old-fashioned, or something that is new but not modernist.
Examples abund in the domains of cars, music, book and I'd prefer not to drop names. But I can't seem to be able to find one single not-old-nor-new design in the domain of websites. Maybe HN is (or it is an old-baby)? Google could have been that: a specific flavor that is not outdated or trendy, but with this flat thing the last thread of hope has gone.
Oh, one thing that is old-fashioned and very modern at the same time: the Terminal! Lovely friend, you was designed for 1bit/s teletypes, and you still the fastest and most reliable friend in all what I do to my computer. Hope you never dies.
Shameless hook: I consider douban.com, where I work (beware: Chinese), to be somewhat not modernist nor old-fashioned, in a way.
