Most Over-Used Investment Themes in 2020 & 2021

What do you guys think are some of the most over-used themes or macro tailwinds for businesses that you've seen over the last year? For example, COVID-19 resiliency, Aging US Infrastructure, etc.? Just curious what other people see/hear either in both their professional and personal lives.

In fact, most VC trends tend to be pretty moronic lol.
