I think hype is more about trends than it is about age. PHP is going through a bit of a hype phase right now, for instance, mostly because of Laravel and the fact that the language has been silently improving a lot since the wordpress days, and developers are just now starting to realize it.

I believe there are many different hype cycles at once, depending on ones vantage point. The world is large!
