We need a whole thread on graphics trends that were meant to be cutting-edge but in hindsight are awful.

Outside of Chromatic Aberration and Bloom Lighting (latter is dead thankfully) what else is there?

Dirty lens effect, lens flares, lens distortion, vignette, film grain, camera shake, exaggerated motion blur, exaggerated DOF effects, exaggerated contrast with black crush, fake HDR, sharpening filters as in the OP.
