Tropes Are Tools, sure, but some have aged better than others.
Over the course of time, a trope may be overused, misused, opposed, made obsolete, out of fashion, subverted or deconstructed on many notable occasions, or just end up being widely disliked. Eventually, a trope may reach the point where it becomes one which no writer should dare use seriously outside of period pieces, though can still be played with in parody, satire, homage or pastiche. Often, if one of these is used straight, people will assume it's a Red Herring, and react with annoyance or disdain when it isn't.
In some cases, a trope may be discredited due to changes in our knowledge of history or science. Use of the trope in fiction may change to reflect this. See the Time Marches On index.
Notes:
Just because a trope is discredited does not necessarily mean it's not Truth in Television, or that it's necessarily a Dead Horse Trope.
This is not bad writing because the writing itself is bad, but because the writer doesn't know their audience. After all, Tropes Are Tools.
Just because a trope is not Truth in Television does not necessarily mean it is discredited.
Just because a trope is used a lot does not necessarily make it discredited. Take a glance at Overdosed Tropes, many of which are still popular and thriving, if you need any further proof of this.
Just because a trope falls in prominence does not make it discredited: it very well could have a niche that keeps it alive.
Just because a trope is discredited doesn’t mean it can’t be used at all. It can be parodied, subverted, deconstructed, etc. And in the appropriate context, can even still be played straight.
While a variant of the trope can be discredited, that doesn't mean the entire trope is. On the flip side: While the trope itself may be discredited, that doesn't mean all versions of the trope are.
A trope can be considered discredited in some parts of the world, but not in others, due to differing moral and philosophical attitudes among cultures. For instance, Stay in the Kitchen is outdated within Western liberal areas, but raises far fewer eyebrows in African and Asian countries, and some variant on such was widely-held throughout most of history even in the West.
A trope can be discredited in one medium while be not being discredited in other media.
A trope may be discredited by the creators but not by the fans and vice versa.
Omnipresent Tropes are immune to being discredited, mostly because those tropes are too natural to the medium of storytelling to ever be considered tired clichés.
See also:
Characteristic Trope, for tropes that have become so characteristic to a specific work that they can't be used without being automatically considered a ripoff or reference.
Condemned by History, in which the Discredited Trope itself and/or prior works using such tropes have been subject to retroactive criticism years or decades after the work's release due to changing moral attitudes.
Cyclic Trope, which displays tropes that after a period of disuse become relevant again. Note that in most cases, later uses of them tend to be more subdued and/or carrying some degree of self-awareness about the tropes' more outdated aspects.
Dead Horse Trope, where subversions or parodies outnumber straight use in recent works.
Dead Unicorn Trope, for tropes that people believe are clichés and are often parodied, but actually had little to no use in serious form; some may even have been discredited the moment they were created.
Evolving Trope: As mentioned above, many a discredited trope has regained use through transformations. In some cases, these tropes end up changing beyond recognition.
Forgotten Trope, which describes tropes that aren't used in recent works at all; they may have been considered Discredited Tropes years ago, or just fell from use for other reasons.
Grandfather Clause: When a work (usually a Long Runner or an adaptation of one) can get away with playing a Discredited Trope straight because the trope is too essential to the work's formula for it to be abandoned.
Reimagining the Artifact: When a Long Runner and/or an adaptation takes the Discredited Trope or The Artifact and revises it to accommodate modern sensibilities and to justify its continuation.
Trope Breaker: When Real Life events such as changes in technology and society undermine the credibility of certain tropes that it is virtually impossible to play them straight, if at all.
Unbuilt Trope: When a Trope Maker and / or Trope Codifier go out of their way to discredit the trope itself before later works played it straight.
Undead Horse Trope, for tropes that have been subverted, parodied or ridiculed to death, but are still played straight often enough to avoid being considered Discredited Tropes or Dead Horse Tropes.
Unfortunate Implications: While Audience Reactions are not tropes and thus cannot be discredited, countless tropes have become discredited for carrying Unfortunate Implications.
Writing Pitfall Index: A list of tropes that can be seen as bad writing if they aren't done right.
