Probably not. important being the key word! 
not to belittle those trends, they may be great (I've only heard of crunk), but it's not exactly the same as Motown, British invasion, psychedelica, folk, funk, surf, all of which happened in more or less ten years My Legacy

When the punk band Transplants released a screwed record (very slow southern hip hop), I felt the world shake. 
I give them credit for trying something different though. | |

For the first time since the 50's, the big thing this decade in the music industry hasn't actually been the music. It's the trends such as myspace, downloading, i-tunes, etc. Which have meant there's far too much choice for bands starting out, and not much scope for scenes to develop meaningfully from grass roots undiscovered. There's too many fucking bands and artists, and no mystery, danger, or musical innovation. Hopefully, when the changes in the industry have settled, and we can stop getting excited about our frigging I-pods and be startled again by the actual music. I'm going for a lie down  | |

I'm going for a lie down That's true, the trend is about the industry, not the music. And the only trend in music (big trend, that is) has been that of the pop superstar with questionable talent. This isn't a new trend, but it's more noticeable now than ever that nice looking young people are being marketed by corporations, despite their general lack of artistry. My Legacy
