In the 80s there were Obeheims, JX8P, Prophets, Jupiters etc mostly used in Rock Anthems.
In the 90/2000s: JP-8000 mostly in Trance.
So, What synths ( probably plugins ) are the ones of today that will be remembered in 20-30 years from now as the synths of the 2010-2025 era ?
And what kind of music is mostly made with those synths ? What genres ? ( besides Dubstep and HipHop / Trap )

Bit early to say for 2020s, but for the last decade:
Eurorack! Rings into Clouds, audio-rate waveshaping, the Braids/Plaits/Microfreak/etc oscillators by Emilie Gillet.
Mostly used for ambient fart noises, but I think you'll find them turning up in the background of a much wider range of music...

It is a very long span of time and also weird cause no one recalls decades and a half.
Serum, the original NI Massive, Sylenth1 were heavily used then (2010) along with the Access Virus TI and TI2. Rob Papen's synths will also feature probable Predator versions being the most obvious one.
Zebra versions as well though I don't find it great sounding, it can sometimes. Same with Dune versions, I like all synths but did not quite like the sound of Dune and Zebra, many on here do though.
I also edit the post to add Diva, as it did 'analogue' best, first. That still has to be respected as it still sounds amazing today and will do in 2025.
All forms of dance music will feature highly and probably music that can be put under "synth music"

It was the greatest surge in modular synthesis of all time.

Impact wise, Massive and Serum for sure, whether you like 2010s electronic music or not, Dubstep was absolutely huge in 2010s and Massive had a massive role (pun intended) at that.
Serum is pretty much used by every big name artist who uses soft synths from 2010s.
Future prediction - Maybe Vital, Phaseplant and Synplant 2
(I only use Vital and Massive from this list, my post is observational and not to be taken as facts.)

Korg Microkorg was/is extremely popular, at least for keyboardists in guitar-based bands. The Minilogue family, although more limited sound-wise, seems to be adopting a similar role. Clavia's Nord-*** keyboards have been a staple for live use in all genres. ASM Hydrasynth seems to be having a moment now for more synth-centric music.
