Can we discuss the difference between current design trends and cliche' over used motifs?

I think trends are ok as long as they communicate what it is you want to communicate, in other words there should be a reason to use them. I was listening to a podcast with Steve Heller, who is a designer/author who has written a lot of books on design. What I found interesting was that he talked about different styles becoming part of the language of graphic design. So I think trends can be part of the language of design - but most only last for a very short time.
