I think it's more like pendulum swings. Those biases come and go. The Lisp world is mostly uncorrelated with them.
My pet theory is that each swing is kicked off by a new generation pushing against the previous bias, which by then has been around long enough for its weaknesses to show. It's exciting the first two or three times you go through this, but after a while there's a curious feeling of nothing much ever changing. At that point Lisp looks pretty good again.
