This isn't just zeerust but more specific, at least in my opinion. While you might argue that this is a form of zeerust, movies like IAmLegend as one troper mentioned, suffer from no zeerust but still fall under this trope

I'm tempted to call it "The Date Marches On," but I'm afraid that may confuse it with, or make people think it's the same as TimeMarchesOn, which it is not seeing as that's the {{Supertrope}} of all these related tropes, or HistoryMarchesOn, which it also isn't.

I'm sorry if the comments are not the place to defend the justification of your trope. I'm not too experienced with Troperville's various rules of etiquette, so I hope I'm not stepping on any toes. Anyway, thanks for the input so far. I edited in the examples given (except for thechainman's 'in the year 2000 section', not because it doesn't fall under this trope, but because I don't want people to confuse this trope with classic zeerust, the thing Conan is pardodying, while I'm trying to get it off the ground).
