View source for The Newest Ones in the Book

{{trope}}{{page should be category}}
As mentioned in [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]], those tropes cannot be any more recent than 1993, and even then, those only apply to tropes originating with [[The Internet]]. Anything else has to be [[Older Than the Web]], or around for at least 30 years.

But there are some tropes that are really young, that still have that "New Trope Smell" -- sometimes as recent as the [[Turn of the Millennium]]. Anything around no earlier September 1993 is one of '''The Newest Ones in the Book'''.

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 [[Older Than They Think|older]]. Or some may turn out [[Newer Than They Think|not to be that old]], so they belong here. Some may have a clear beginning past this point, likely due to the [[Trope Maker]] being recent. Either way, it's a trope that simply didn't exist, at least in the way we know it, before [[Deader Than Disco|Disco died]].

Use the discussion page to determine if one is older than this.

Since [[History Marches On]], we're already creating new subpages as the number of years that count as "new" grows.  We start with:
* [[Older Than the Web]] - First seen between the invention of television (1940s) and September 1993.

Everything listed below dates from after the dawn of the Web.
