Oi! This is getting depressing.
No worries, if you wait long enough it all comes back in style eventually. So, it doesn't matter if it's what's done or if it's not. At some point in time it will be deemed awesome by the mysterious declaring powers and then later rejected by their successors simply because every time power changes hands they have to stomp out the supporters of the old regime.
Once everyone is officially on board with never rhyming again, some daring soul will do it ironically to prove a point and then everyone will copycat and that will herald in the next era of reinstating strict meter rules and complicated rhyme paterns and everyone will sneer at that "old fashioned free verse which is so anachronistic." And then someone will write a poem with no rhymes, ironically, to prove a point ....
Anyway, so just write what pleases you and someday it will probably be cool. At least that's my plan, but cool has never been my strong suit, so ... :p
