Trends are a really interesting topic that I didn't consider. Some of the libraries that got in the front page in HN for me where riding the you might not need jquery/bootstrap wave (+small libraries), so I totally see that happening and didn't really consider it. There was definitely a Node.js, machine learning and arguably now there is a love/hate React wave. I'll try to dig deeper but this (trends) is not something I consider myself good at.
