This is interesting but not really accurate. If "A trend always appears as the result of the opposition with another." was true, we'd be caught in a loop between one extreme and the next. It's partially right though. When it comes to "taste" there often seems to be a severe reversal in a short amount of time. I like to think of it as a correction. We're getting to the point now, where the web 2.0 look has reached the extreme. It's time for a correction in "taste". The leading edge of "taste" will snap back to something far from what's currently fashionable (I say far because anything else wouldn't seem fresh) and the rest of us will eventually follow. Then it will happen all over again. I think it's partially correct to say a new trend is "opposite" but more accurate to say it's a reaction to how stale the current trend is. In short, the Web 2.0 will certainly change (isn't that a given anyway?), but I don't know that "grunge" is where we're headed.
