Line 84:
* [[H.P. Lovecraft|HP Lovecraft]] -- Created [[Cosmic Horror Story|Lovecraftian horror]], although there are a few [[Ur Example|Ur Examples]].
* ''[[A Clockwork Orange (novel)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' -- The familiar strapped-into-a-chair-with-your-eyelids-taped-open method of [[Brainwashed|Brainwashing]].
* [[
* ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' -- Arguably created the first Supervillain [[Big Bad]], Professor Moriarty, and the [[Sherlock Scan]].
* Nick Carter created the a boy sidekick, and the [[Rogues Gallery]].
Line 132:
* Ougenweide created Medieval Rock/Metal music by combining medieval texts and melodies with modern Rock and Hard Rock.
* [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]], with almost every subgenre of rock music after them. Musicologically speaking, in this day and age, to say a certain rock band is "Beatles-like" is redundant.
** With Richard Lester, they made the first music videos with the films ''[[A Hard Day's Night]]'' and ''[[Help!]]'' and with their promos for ''Rain'' and ''Paperback Writer''. [[MTV]] credited Dick Lester as the father of music videos. His response was [[Deadpan Snarker|asking for a blood test]].
* [[The Who]] directly created [[Punk Rock]], and also innovated in hard rock. Along with [[Led Zeppelin]], made heavier rock and metal as we know it.
** Despite there being one before it (by the same group, no less), ''[[Tommy]]'' by [[The Who]] is the first--is ''the'' rock opera. (Well, okay, [[The Who]] had done two other things before which you might call rock operas--"A Quick One, While He's Away", "Rael"--but the former was a track long and the latter two tracks so neither counts.)
Line 194:
* ''[[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]]'' -- More or less defined the standard of the FPS genre on game consoles, establishes or popularizes many tropes seen in later FPS games.
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' -- Popularized and defined the standard of the [[Wide Open Sandbox]] game.
* ''[[Halo]]'' -- Popularized FPS on Consoles, Vehicles in games outside racers, Online Gaming on consoles, [[Machinima|Machinimas]] and possibly even [[Beating a Dead Player|Teabagging]], and proved the relevancy of the [[
** Ironically, saying that Halo is a [[Trope Maker]] and/or a [[Trope Codifier]] in anything can cause massive [[Internet Backdraft]] in any [[Console Wars]] threads. Although these days saying that any [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|popular title created or popularized a good trope]] can cause massive rage, this itself is an unfortunate [[Trope Maker]] for Halo.
* ''I, Robot'' -- First game to use polygon-based graphics, camera control and a sandbox option. All of this in [[Older Than They Think|1983]]!
Line 240:
* [[Red vs. Blue]], the first modern Machinima.
* [[Wikipedia]] is an encyclopedia, and so influential that [[The Wiki Rule|few wikis exist that aren't, functionally, specialized encyclopedias]] rather than, say, community projects or collections of cross-referenced essays. The most obvious counterexample, [[Everything 2]], predates Wikipedia.
* THE WORK, WHICH BECOMES A NEW GENRE ITSELF, WILL BE CALLED......... ''[[AMV Hell
