Nothing is new. Everything has been done before.
What's new an current is irrelevant in my opinion. Be aware of it, but make each piece of work individual, and pertinent to the subject matter. Using web 2.0 glass balls on a website for an antiques company would be ridiculous, but I'm sure someone out there's done it.
Don't have a style, have infinite styles and choose the right one for each piece of work. Then you'll stand out from all the sheep using the latest photoshop tutorials on the web.
