Is it the popularity of adventure time that led to this current, terrible wacky animation trend?

They also have the 1960s Aquaman series. To which I say, "There was a 1960s Aquaman series???"

It's awesome, and refreshing to have an adult animated show where the characters aren't all assholes to each other.

Dexter's Lab had a sharp wit, but I would not consider it to have a good art design. Power Puff Girls was better in the art department. That look fit the show like a glove.

Of course, it could also be a matter that both shows were subversive and the whole "subversive show with an ironically bad art design" routine is getting a little cliche a quarter of a century later.
