I put it to you that photographs of people walking parallel to a wall in long light (or silhouette) is the most played out trend in street photography. Once you notice it, it is fucking everywhere. And it's not even very good. It doesn't actually require all that much skill. And yet it wins awards all the damn time. It doesn't actually communicate anything, it's just "LMAO look, that person looks like they are interacting with the scenery a bit". What's the fucking point.

Some examples.
