Line 9:
Compare [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], [[Next Sunday A.D.]]. When a work is set in the recent past, but treats it ''as if'' it were '''Present Day''' to the point of including anachronisms, it's a [[Present Day Past]]. If a work tries a bit too hard to look hip and cool in the present day, it'll likely come across as an [[Unintentional Period Piece]] later on.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The anime ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' (the [[Trope Namer]]) opens each episode with a voice saying "Present day. Present time." and then laughing, even though much of the technology suggest the show probably takes place in the future or some alternate world.
Line 47:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' is an interesting use of "present day", because the show has been running
* ''[[Time Warp Trio]]'' was made in 2005. The "present" year as it is stated in the show? 2005, of course!
