As mentioned in [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]], those tropes cannot be any more recent than 19601993, and even then, those only apply to tropetropes originating with [[TelevisionThe Internet]]. Anything else has to be [[Older Than Televisionthe Web]], or around for at least 7030 years.

But there are some tropes that are really young, that still have that "New Trope Smell"—sometimes -- sometimes as recent as the [[Turn of the Millennium]]. Anything around no earlier thanSeptember 19801993 is one of '''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.

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]].
