The exact same trends go round and round in web design too (and now apps).
At first things were square (because that was all the technology could do) then in the 2000s CSS exploded and everything went colour gradients and rounded corners, just because people could, then that became old-hat and everything went flat and square again, and then rounded came back (but without so many gradients)
Everything is cyclical.
Be me still waiting for that cozy skeumorphism and UI with depth to come back. =/
You're forgetting Flash. Flash every-fucking-where between 2002-2010 because fuck your CPU and your browser
Color gradients weren't a feature in CSS for a long time, people still wanted them and made them using images, same with rounded corners, same with shadows. All this was standardised in CSS in the 2010s.
