Line 54:
* ''[[Blade Runner]]''—Invented cyberpunk in film, along with [[Neuromancer|Gibson]].
* ''[[The Great Train Robbery]]''—The first Western.
* Although it is difficult to determine for sure, the first entertainment on moving film appears to have been the 1895 short ''L'Arroseur arrose'', viewable [https://web.archive.org/web/20110724021600/http://www.precinemahistory.net/1895.htm here]. This is the first time in film a 'script' was used rather than simply filming everyday life like boxing matches, cock fights, or people leaving a factory after a long day of work. It's an old gag of standing on a hose to stop the water, waiting for the guy to look into the hose to find the problem, and releasing the pressure on the line to squirt the man in the face. It's film being used for the first time to tell a story.
* Akira Kurosawa made everything we know about [[Chanbara]].
* ''[[Star Wars]]''—One of first movies to utilize the [[Used Future]] in film and popularized the [[Space Western]]. Along with ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'', it also effectively created the concept of the [[Summer Blockbuster]].
Line 132:
** Additionally, [[The Who]][[X Meets Y|+]][[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]=[[Power Pop]].
* [[The Yardbirds]] are practically a who's-who of blues-rock guitarists (at different times, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page numbered amongst their members). They popularized riff-driven songs and pioneered the use of fuzz, distortion, feedback and innovative recording techniques. And evolved into...
* ...
** [[Blue Cheer]] really need to get the credit for creating heavy metal the way the early bands played it. Their influence was heavily evident in the most popular of the early metal bands, [[Black Sabbath]], [[Grand Funk Railroad]], and [[Iron Butterfly]]. That influence extended through [[Motorhead]] and [[Venom (band)|Venom]].
* Credit Prog Rock to [[King Crimson]], [[Yes]], [[Procol Harum]] and [[The Moody Blues]].
Line 157:
* Skream popularized dubstep with what is believed to be the first proper dubstep song called midnight request [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6pTSGvp7T8 line ]
* Metallica's "Kill 'em All" (specifically "Hit the Lights" the first recorded song from the album, released for the compilation album "Metal Massacre" in 1982) is usually cited as Thrash Metal's Trope Maker, but some give that honor to Venom's "Welcome to Hell," and dub Metallica the [[Trope Codifier]].

Line 206 ⟶ 205:
* ''[[Myst]]''—Launched the [[Beautiful Void]] subgenre, and popularized [[Scenery Porn]] in PC games.
* ''[[Pac-Man]]''—The first [[Maze Game]].
* ''[[Pitfall]]''—Did the [[Platformer]] thing years before [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros.]].
* ''[[Pokémon]]''—Defined and is the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Gotta Catch Them All]], while it's also responsible for the "mon" craze in general. See [[Trope Codifier]].
* ''[[Pong]]''—The first successful [[Arcade Game]], and the first home [[Videogame Systems|Video Game System]], laying out many of the basics.
Line 220 ⟶ 219:
* ''[[Space War]]''—The first real [[Video Game]]!
* ''[[Street Fighter II]]''—Created the idea of a gallery of fighters from which you could pick and fight against. Also, stages.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros.]].''—More or less ''[[Trope Codifier|defined]]'' the [[Platformer]] genre.
* ''[[Super Mario 64]]''—Did what ''Super Mario Bros.'' did... [[In Space|In 3D]], thereby creating the 3D platformer.
* ''[[Tetris]]''—Truly popularised the [[Puzzle Game]]. A good majority of puzzle games are Tetris-like.
Line 231 ⟶ 230:
==
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''—One of the first and longest-running webcomics; the first and best example of [[Planet Eris]] and [[Cerebus Syndrome]].
* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]''—If not the first [[Two Gamers on a Couch]] gaming [[Web Comic]], then one of the mainstays. Almost all other gaming webcomics can claim to have been inspired by ''Penny Arcade'' and its format in some way.
