The beginning of the description makes it clear this isn\\\'t about zombies specifically. Thus, I removed the following - it\\\'s good writing (or at least the second paragraph has a good point), but it\\\'s off topic and misleading for the trope:
\\\"One of the more GenreSavvy reasons is that [[TheUndead the walking dead]] technically \\\'\\\'[[YouKeepUsingThatWord aren\\\'t zombies]]\\\'\\\'. The proper \\\"zombie\\\" is a person whose higher thought processes have been removed, leaving them under the sway of a master. This original zombie is usually the result of occult vodou magic. Some books, such as \\\'\\\'The Serpent and the Rainbow\\\'\\\', argue that vodou practitioners can create zombies through a combination of drugs and cultural beliefs. \\\"P-zombies\\\", or \\\"[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie philosophical zombies]]\\\", are even more convoluted — persons who don\\\'t have any subjective \\\"experience\\\".
Because of the older meaning of \\\"zombie\\\", it would make sense not to call them that in works that take place before the Romero \\\'\\\'Living Dead\\\'\\\' films established them as monsters (and even Romero himself didn\\\'t originally call them zombies), but sometimes works in the past will call them that anyway.\\\"
Okay, I\\\'m also going to remove the next paragraph, because it both is zombie-specific and sounds far-fetched:
\\\"Can also be a form of enforced GenreBlindness where it\\\'s implied that the reason no one uses the term is because in-universe the very \\\'\\\'concept\\\'\\\' of the living dead in general has never entered a single person\\\'s mind in the history of man.\\\"
MAYBE this one could be re-written to work, I don\\\'t know. It would help if I knew of actual examples.
