Category:The Newest Ones in the Book



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. Or some may turn out 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 Disco died.
