[[File:gjwthf tm 00 32.jpg|frame|[[Fur and Loathing]] and [[Eighties Hair]]. Two of these right here.]] |
|||
As mentioned in [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]], those tropes cannot be any more recent than 1960, and even then, those only apply to trope originating with [[Television]]. Anything else has to be [[Older Than Television]], or around for at least 70 years. |
|||
But there are some tropes that are really young, that still have that "New Trope Smell"—sometimes as recent as the [[Turn of the Millennium]]. Anything around no earlier than 1980 is one of '''The Newest Ones in the Book'''. |
|||
Of course it's hard to tell just how old a trope is, and it may turn out some we thought were new were actually [[Older Than They Think|older]]. Or some may turn out [[Newer Than They Think|not to be that old]], so they belong here. Some may have a clear beginning past this point, likely due to the [[Trope Maker]] being recent. Either way, it's a trope that simply didn't exist, at least in the way we know it, before [[Deader Than Disco|Disco died]]. |

== Tropes == |
|||
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Because [[The Seventies]] had its own hair looks. |
|||
* [[The Abridged Series]]: Since the [[Trope Maker]] is just a few years old. |
|||
* [[Alien Autopsy]]: The [[FOX]] Network's TV special ''Alien Autopsy: Fact Or Fiction'' is the [[Trope Maker]] and first aired in 1995. |
|||
* [[Anal Probing]]: The earliest reference in any media to this activity between extra-terrestrials and humans comes from Whitley Strieber's book ''Communion: A True Story'', first published in 1987. |
|||
* [[Bullet Time]]: Originated with the obscure 1981 action film ''Kill and Kill Again'', but now overwhelmingly associated with ''[[The Matrix]]'' films. |
|||
* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: Cell phones were not in general use until the early- to mid-1990s. |
|||
* [[Character Blog]] |
|||
* [[Date My Avatar]] |
|||
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]: Although there were plenty of efforts to strictly enforce copyright laws, it only became a media trope some time around 1980 with the "Home Taping is Killing Music" campaign. |
|||
* [[Fur and Loathing]]: It was just around since the early 1980s. There were people against fur before, but the effect on general media was just since that trope. |

|||
* [[Gun Kata]]: It was created for ''Equilibrium'' in 2002. |
|||

|||
* [[Moe]]: is a phenomenon of the 21st century, although prototypical forms existed in the 1980s and 1990s. |
|||
* [[New Media Tropes]]: Likewise, any trope with "internet" in the title emerged no earlier than the mid-1990s. |
|||
* [[Troll]]: Writing deliberately inflammatory material for the sake of attracting attention surely predates the Internet, but the Internet and [[GIFT]] brought Trolling to the masses. |
|||
* [[Two Gamers on a Couch]]: Started about 1998 or so. |
|||
* [[Video Game Tropes]]: Save for a handful that are [[Older Than the NES]]. |
