Yep, these things go in cycles. Based on why my niece and nephew want to read/listen to, it sounds like dis-utopias such as the Hunger Games series, is the new craze.

Since I started reading SF&F back in the mid 70's, I've seen Conan knock offs, Tolkien knock offs, generic sword and sorcery, the first wave of urban fantasy, dragon books, werewolf books, vampire books, vampire/werewolf books, realms of fay, and a number of cycles come and go. I'm sure new cycles will come about as well. Anytime an author comes out with a successful motif, then other authors will jump on the band wagon. The same sort of thing happens in most genres.
