Trends come and go in the film world all the time.
This sense of moving on from something once popular can also extend to entire genres themselves.

Every traditional film noir movie has already been made, which is kind of weird to think about it.
No other genre as popular as film noir is said to be officially over.

11Westerns
The Western is an unusual genre within film history.
ThenBlazing Saddlessuccessfully spoofed the genre in 1974, andClint Eastwoodbrilliantly deconstructed and critiqued it in 1992’sUnforgiven.
10Musicals
The musical genre can be a hard sell to some viewers.
Yet it’s a genre that most are probably thankful to see die out.
If the parody movie never returns, most probably won’t miss it.
