The Other Troper
Well that trope might have to go through TRS later.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
The Other Troper
Here's what I propose in more detail:
- Clean up examples and wicks. Failed slang is Jive Turkey and should be corrected. Simply using slang at all is not a trope (so far) and should be deleted as an example.
- Rename the trope, and expand it to any attempt to "connect with the youth" other than just marketing and advertising, which the page currently limits it to.
- Make a Trope Transplant and move the name to a trope about the "cool culture" of much of The '80s and some of The '90s. It can overlap with the current trope though.
That sounds pretty tidy to me.
Okay Guy
How does Down With Todays Youth sound?
Put me in motion, drink the potion, use the lotion, drain the ocean, cause commotion, fake devotion, entertain a notion, be Nova Scotian
Okay Guy
Am I the only one who thinks Down With Todays Youth is a good title?

Sounds pretty good. Maybe "kids" instead of "youth"?

Nah, Down With Todays Youth has that certain ring of total cluelessness that the trope so often implies.
The Other Troper
Yeah, if there isn't a snappier name, I agree that we go with that suggestion.

Ah, I didn't think of that.
Yeah, I'm good with that name.
Okay Guy
Should we skip the single prop crowner? I don't want to rush into things, but we have objectively proven the name to not work and no one seems to be opposing renaming it.
If we are using a crowner, we should prolly get it hooked tonight.

The Other Troper
Well I'd like a page action crowner about whether a Trope Transplant is okay.

I thought Jive Turkey was specifically about black "hip", "street" characters using weird slang, but the current article doesn't seem to mention the ethnic stereotype aspect, so maybe that has been changed.
