4	Some tropes are old. Some tropes are very old; you'll find those in TheOldestOnesInTheBook. But there are some tropes that are really young, that still have that "New Trope Smell" -- sometimes as recent as the TurnOfTheMillennium. Anything that has its origin after 1980 is one of [[TitleDrop the newest ones in the book]].
5
6	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 [[OlderThanTheyThink older]]. Or some may turn out [[NewerThanTheyThink not to be that old]], so they belong here. Some may have a clear beginning past this point, likely due to the TropeMaker being recent. Either way, it's a trope that simply didn't exist, at least in the way we know it, before Disco died.

27	* TheAbridgedSeries: Since the TropeMaker started in 2006. And if you count ''Theatre/TheCompleteWorksOfWilliamShakespeareAbridged'', that show was created in 1981, so it still counts as a "newest one in the book".

29	* AdReward: Emerged from the rise of smartphones and the subsequent boom of server-based App Store games. Often serves as an alternative method for game developers to gain revenue from "free-to-play" games besides {{Microtransactions}}.
30	* TheAhnold: A parody of 1980s {{action hero}}es, especially those played by Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
31	* AlcubierreDrive: Professor Miguel Alcubierre proposed the drive in 1994, though the inspiration came from explanations given for ''Franchise/StarTrek's'' warp drive in the technical manuals.
32	* AlienAutopsy: The TropeMaker is ''VideoGame/XCOMUFODefense'', released in 1994.
33	* AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles: Emerged as a result of the anime "OVA Boom" in the late 1980s and early 1990s, specifically the dubs of ''Literature/VampireHunterD'' in 1992, ''Anime/NinjaScroll'' in 1995, and ''Urotsukidoji: The Legend of the Overfiend'' in 1993 in particular
34	* AnalProbing: The earliest reference in any media to this activity between extraterrestrials and humans comes from Whitley Strieber's book ''Communion: A True Story'', first published in 1987 (although note that Strieber didn't claim to know whether or not the beings he saw were extraterrestrials).
35	* AngelsInOvercoats: The trend of angels wearing longcoats likely originated with ''Film/WingsOfDesire'', which came out in 1987.
36	* AnimatedShockComedy: Starting in UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation and continuing into UsefulNotes/TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation, shows like ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' would appeal to older audiences using vulgar comedy.

43	* BlankWhiteEyes: Only started popping up at the start of the New Millennium.

45	* BondingThroughSharedEarbuds: In-ear headphones or "earbuds" have existed since at least 1984, but took off with the introduction of Apple's [=iPod=] [=MP3=] player in 2001, and thus this trope became popular with it.
46	* TheBreakfastClubPosterHomage: ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' was released in 1985, along with this iconic poster.
47	* BulletTime: Originated with the obscure 1981 action film ''Film/KillAndKillAgain'', but [[TropeCodifier now overwhelmingly associated]] with ''Film/TheMatrix'' films.

50	* CatsLoveLaserPointers: It wasn't until 1990s when the laser pointers became popular.
51	* CelebrityBreakUpSong: While "You're So Vain" by Music/CarlySimon is arguably the UrExample, this trope [[TropeMaker really got kick-started]] when the marketing campaign for "Cry Me a River" by Music/JustinTimberlake made clear that this song was about Timberlake's break-up with Music/BritneySpears.
52	* CellPhonesAreUseless: Cell phones were not in general use until the early- to mid-1990s, although they begin to appear among the higher classes (see: ''Series/{{Dallas}}'') in the '80s.

54	* ChewBubblegum: Comes from Wrestling/RoddyPiper's ad-libbed line in ''Film/TheyLive''.
55	* {{Chupacabra}}: Although reports of farm animals drained of blood began in the 1970s, the term "Chupacabra" and the description of the creature as we know it originated in 1995, probably visually inspired by the monster Sil from ''Film/{{Species}}''.
56	* CivvieSpandex: This was a trend started by Creator/GrantMorrison's run on ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' in 1988, and then popularized by Comicbook/{{Rogue}} in the 90s.

60	* CreepyCamelSpider: While camel spiders have been known for centuries, the popularity of Internet photos of them in the 2000s, and subsequent urban legends surrounding them, propelled them to pop-culture icon status.
61	* CrystalClearPicture: Fixing the de-sync between InUniverse screens and the camera to avoid RasterVision was not possible with older CRT monitors until the '80s. It was ''Film/{{Videodrome}}'' in 1982 the first production to figure out how to do it.

66	* DeliberateVHSQuality: VHS was the dominant physical video medium until 2002, when DVD (which had been around since 1996) overtook it in sales. Before that, black-and-white footage would be used to make the video look older instead.
67	* DemonicHeadShake: A visual effect codified by the 1990 movie ''Film/JacobsLadder''.
68	* DeviousDolphins: The unpleasant aspects of bottlenose dolphins became known in the 2000s.
69	* DigitalDeaging: Use of CGI to make an actor appear younger.
70	* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: Although there were plenty of efforts to strictly enforce copyright laws, it only became a media trope some time around 1980 with the "Home Taping is Killing Music" campaign.
71	* DumpedViaTextMessage: A trope heavily centered around the use of instant-messaging, which didn't exist until the 1990s.
72	* EmbarrassingBrowserHistory: Started with the move away from text-based Internet browsers in the early- to mid-1990s.

74	* EngineeredHashtag: See also HashtagForLaughs.
75	* EnvironmentalNarrativeGame: ''VideoGame/LSDDreamEmulator'', released in 1998, might be a proto-example, but the genre as we now know it only really came into its own in the late 2000s: the first version of ''VideoGame/DearEsther'', generally considered the TropeCodifier, was released in 2008.
76	* EverythingIsAnIPodInTheFuture: Apple introduced the [=iPod=] in 2001.
77	* FakeTexting

80	* FurAgainstFang: ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' from 1991 more or less popularized this trope, and its spin-off ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' from 1992 codified it. Prior to that, werewolves and vampires were usually depicted as allies or at least connected.
81	* FurAndLoathing: It was just around since the early 1980s. There were people against fur before, but the effect on general media was just since that trope.
82	* GayOption: ''VideoGame/GreatGreed'' released in 1992, was the first game with a gay romance released overseas.
83	* GentleGorilla: The KillerGorilla became a DiscreditedTrope in the 1980s by Dian Fossey's studies on gorillas revealing their gentle nature.
84	* GoofyFeatheredDinosaur: ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinosauropteryx Sinosauropteryx]]'', the first definitely non-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avialae avialan]] dinosaur with feathers, was found in 1996. This conclusively demonstrated that at least some dinosaurs had feathers, and forever changed the public's image of dinosaurs.
85	* GooglingTheNewAcquaintance: The World Wide Web was not created until the late 80s and this practice seemed to become common near the turn of the millennium.
86	* GreedyTelevangelist: Earliest examples are largely in song form from the early 80s, with Music/RayStevens and "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex?" as a TropeMaker. It was the minority opinion as well, until the late 80s, when Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggart's highly publicized scandals truly cemented this trope, ending the portrayal of televangelists as GoodShepherd types practically overnight.
87	* GunFu: It was invented for the 1986 film ''Film/ABetterTomorrow''.
88	* GunKata: It was created for ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' in 2002, though some earlier works, mostly {{anime}}, featured gun fights with similar elements.

91	* HeresJohnnyHomage: This specific variant of AxeBeforeEntering originated with Creator/JackNicholson's improvised line in Creator/StanleyKubrick's 1980 horror classic ''Film/TheShining''.

102	* LeetLingo: Originated in the early forums of the primordial 1980s internet.
103	* LegacyBoardGame: The UrExample is 2011's ''TabletopGame/{{Risk}} Legacy''. However, the older TabletopRPG is related, and you could see similar ideas in certain games, like ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' with its now-abandoned ante mechanic.

107	* MakeAWishContribution: Make-A-Wish first came into prominence when it was founded in 1980.

109	* MammothsMeanIceAge: Was cemented in the public mind after the decline in popularity of the HollywoodPrehistory trope in The80s. Prior to that, woolly mammoths were often depicted living in a warmer climate alongside dinosaurs, like in ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''.
110	* MandelaEffect: The term arose in 2009, when Fiona Broome talked about how she and many other people mistakenly believed UsefulNotes/NelsonMandela passed away in the 1980s, when in reality, he would pass away in 2013.
111	* MascotHorror: Started with ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' in 2014.
112	* MascotWithAttitude: Popularised by the character of Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog in TheNineties.
113	* MayanDoomsday: Predicted for 21 December 2012, so the panic kicked into full gear as that date approached -- only for [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome nothing out of the ordinary to happen that day]]. Although doomsayers ''claimed'' inspiration from the [[UsefulNotes/PreColumbianCivilizations Maya calendar]], the sensational apocalyptic interpretations are ''much'' NewerThanTheyThink. Ethnic Maya themselves -- who are still very much around, mind you -- found all the hullabaloo quite baffling.
114	* MeekMesozoicMammal: Arguably achieved popularity in the late '80s when HollywoodPrehistory lost its popularity and the Dinosaur Renaissance had started taking effect in popular culture, influencing the public that the rule of dinosaurs and other reptiles during the Mesozoic Era prevented early mammals from growing and developing beyond rodent- or possum- or badger-like forms.
115	* MichaelHackson: Based on Music/MichaelJackson's public image as a celebrity, particularly his adult career from TheEighties to the TurnOfTheMillennium.

118	* MillenniumBug: These fears originated in TheNineties as the TurnOfTheMillennium drew closer and closer. While many laughed at the hysteria after January 1st of 2000 passed, the main reason nothing happened was thanks to many programmers putting in the tireless hours of correcting this error before it did any damage.
119	* {{Moe}}: "Moe" is a phenomenon of the 21st century, although prototypical forms existed in the 1980s and 1990s.
120	* MonsSeries: The UrExample was ''Literature/DigitalDevilStory'' [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei and the game franchise it spawned]] in the late 80s. The trope was not [[TropeCodifier codified]] and [[GenrePopularizer popularized as a genre]] until ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' in 1996.
121	* MoodyTrailerCoverSong: Popularised with the trailer for the 2010 film ''Film/TheSocialNetwork''.
122	* MurderDotCom: Relies on widespread and easy access to the internet, which was not available before the 90s. The earliest examples appear to be from ''Series/Millennium1996'' ("The Mikado", 1998) and ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' ("Homicide.com", 1999).
123	* MyLittlePhony: Based on the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' franchise, which started in 1981 and has continued to the present day. Parodies of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', which began in 2010, are even newer.

128	* {{Omegaverse}}: Primarily a {{fanfiction}} trope, originated in the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' fandom during TheNewTens.
129	* OnlineAlias: Started in the 90s with the advent of the World Wide Web and has become popular starting in the late 00s due to the influence of social media.
130	* ParodiesForDummies: The first ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Dummies For Dummies]]'' book (''DOS for Dummies'') came out in 1991.
131	* ParodiesOfFire: The original ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' came out in 1981.

142	* PredatoryBigPharma: Medicines only started being produced and/or circulated en masse at the beginning of the twentieth century; companies to produce them weren't created until after the Second World War. Processes to keep track of pharmaceutical spending in government and medicine only started in the U.S. in 2013. The opioid epidemic (commonly associated with this trope) started in the late 1990s, and therefore fictional presentations tend to follow that.
143	* PremiumCurrency: One of the logical conclusion of {{Microtransaction}}, where players can pay real money to buy special in-game currency (which are often much harder to get than its regular currency), which in turn can be used to buy premium items and what-not.
144	* RaidersOfTheLostParody: This one is just past the cutoff date -- ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' came out in 1981.
145	* RaptorAttack: Raptors or dromaeosaurids, while discovered in the 1920s and became better known to science in TheSeventies, were popularized by the release of the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise in TheNineties.

152	* SavageSpinosaurs: ''Spinosaurus'', despite being discovered in the 1910s, was made one of the famous dinosaurs by ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' in 2001. ''Baryonyx'', the spinosaurid that revealed the crocodile-like head distinctive of the family, was discovered in 1983 and named in 1986.
153	* SchoolGradeHacking: Codified by Film/WarGames (1983).
154	* SelfieFiend: Selfies have existed for decades but became popularized with the rise of social media in the 2000s.
155	* ShallowNewsSiteSatire: Said news sites came into vogue in the 2010s.

161	* SocialMediaIsBad: Social media didn't start becoming widespread until the 2000s, so stories about its detriment didn't pop up until a while later.
162	* SolarPunk: The term was first coined in 2014.
163	%%* SpiderManKiss: Parodies/shout-outs to the upside-down kiss scene from ''Film/SpiderMan1'', made in 2002.

174	* StudentDebtPlot: Until [[TheEighties the Reagan Administration]], while tuition wasn't free, it was subsidized to where you could easily cover the remainder with a part-time job at minimum wage (which was also much higher relative to the cost of living).
175	* SuspiciousMissedMessages: The trope assumes the characters involved have access to phones or computers on a daily basis, in normal circumstances.
176	* TechBro: Tech jobs began being seen as glamorous with the Internet revolution turning the nerd/jock rivalry into a DiscreditedTrope. Really took hold in the 2010s with apps like Facebook making their developers extremely wealthy.
