Default tilted photos | out of style or still alive?

Hi all,
I've seen many comments lately saying that tilted photos are out of style or have no purpose.
I think that every style has it's place when used correctly and I have some photos that would have been just boring if not tilted they way they are.
I think that photographing a dance party will tend to look boring and dull and tilting your camera will sometimes just add some sort of a dynamic feeling to the photo, which is needed in that kind of photography.
again, not saying that every photo you take from now on needs to be tilted - just saying that the style is very much alive and has it's place in the photography field.

what's your take on the subject?

I like these however pointless the tilting seems: Romain Laurent Tilted Photography

However, I imagine that situations where a tilt would enhance the image would be very limited.
