Absolutely not. Almost all websites are still based on good old HTML. The neato new technologies are all creative new ways to generate HTML on the fly. Stuff like JSPs and ASP and Perl and Python and tons of other technologies are just ways of generating HTML and sending it to you rather than having pre-saved static HTML and sending it to you.
However, there is a new version of HTML on the block which is called XHTML which stands for Extensible Hypertext Markup Language. It is very close to being the same as HTML except that it conforms to a slightly stricter set of standards so that it can be parsed like XML. XHTML has actually been around since 2000 but it has suffered from a lack of adoption by web browser developers. Currently the W3C is working on XHTML 2.0 amid much controversy as it will NOT be backwards compatible with older standards.
So, as you can see, there ARE new alternatives out there and newer ones on the way but they are not being widely used. HTML is still the lifeblood of the internet.

I don't know that this question can be answered. I don't even know that the word "passe" can be applied to something like html. It's a tool, not to mention a very useful and widely used tool. Whether or not it's "passe" doesn't really matter.
