I think there have been more recent fads. (If fad is the word for it.) There was the story about Walmart stocking up on Pop-Tarts during hurricane season that was in the news fifteen or twenty years ago.

There was the original "Big Data" and Hadoop, Chris Anderson's "The End of Theory" and Clive Humby coining "data is the new oil" around the same time. Probably others.
