* DancingBear: A work whose reputation is based on one gimmick rather than any other merits.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Elements of a work or series that differ early in its existence, either because of evolving artistry or the work’s identity is still unknown. Not a YMMV trope.

* GenreTurningPoint: A work redefines a genre it occupies.
* HypeBacklash: Any work that becomes immensely popular and beloved will eventually receive new viewers who don’t think it’s as good as the hype.
* ItsPopularNowItSucks: The more mainstream something is, the more critical people are of it.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Something is seen as bad simply because it's too similar to a previous work, rather than due to any particular flaw on its own.

* ValuesDissonance: An element of a work is viewed as normal in its own culture/time period, but is considered questionable in another culture/time period.
