PGMs were in fashion in 2012, but by 2014 when Deep Learning had become all the rage, I think PGMs almost disappeared from the picture. Do people even remember PGMs exist now in 2019?

You'll find plate models, PGM junk, etc in modern papers on explicit density generative models and factorizing latents on such models.

Fashion is relevant only if you want to approach it as a fashion industry.

PGMs also provide the intuition behind GANs and variational autoencoders.
