    You can't really give it a proper name until after the movement has been around for some time, perhaps not even until it has passed and can be contextualized with the clarity of hindsight.

    The only thing I can say about the current state of design is eclectic. Every style ever used is in vogue somewhere. I will say that I see a lot of historical revival/recontextualization, whether it's Victorian book typography or 70's style illustration. It's all fair game. There's a lot of design hip-hop going on (i.e. sampling, mixing & matching), although I doubt that's anything new.
