I sort of view construction grammar as the phoenix that arose in the  
1980s from the ashes of generative semantics in the 1970s. It forms  
the basis for a lot of modern work in cognitive linguistics. It  
certainly seems a lot more trendy now than when I was an undergrad 13  
years ago.

Fillmore is still around, btw. He's responsible for FrameNet which  
gets a lot of attention from the computational linguistics community.
