Neoclassical architecture, Tudor Revival, etc were all imitations of earlier architectural styles, and were all very successful, IMO.
Today the problem seems to be more related to the expense of quality materials and little details than anything else. Copying old styles properly has become cost prohibitive.
One Worldwide Plaza is a pretty good attempt and could actually pass for a 1930s building from a distance.
