I just view the cliche Cafe Racer-thing just like the Fat Tire Chopper-thing. A fad.

That's just me. I'm an old racer and like modded street bikes to look and handle more like race bikes without a lot of fluff.
I agree the cafe racer thing is a fad and it is a dated look. But I think everything comes and goes and comes back. Then it fades into what is accepted as normal.
I like to look at how it is a style with a consistent theme. How about adventure touring then?
Notice the similar lines and features that define a style.
