Urban fantasy is one of the largest subgenres, though. At this point, I'd say it's pretty traditional.

Urban has been bigger than medieval/renaissance "historic" fantasy for over 20 years now.

I agree. It really took off in the 90s, though of course it's been around for longer than that.

Does that include stuff like...Twilight or Interview With A Vampire? Because most urban fantasy I see is just "vampires in a vague 90s area but with more rain."

I personally wouldn't call either of those urban fantasy, per se. Vampire literature is arguably its own sub genre of horror. But there's tons of fantasy in an urban setting,it's not rare or new. You've got stuff like Dresden Files, Simon R. Green, Terry Brooks' non-Shannara books, Laurel K. Hamilton, Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Kim Harrison's witch series, any of the hundreds and thousands of books with badass chick in leather on the cover, etc.
