In most series set more than 20 Minutes into the Future, the date will be an exact round number of years after the year the series was made. Something made in 1965 and set in the twenty-first century will be set in 2065. Something made in 1989 and set in the thirtieth century will be set in 2989. This also applies to Time Travel, either forward or backward; from 1972, you can jump forward to 2072 or back to 1872. There are two big exceptions to this. One is when they just use a nice round number by itself for the year; thus, all the TV shows and movies set in the year 2000 (or 1999, or 2001). The other is sequels to something that was set in Exty Years; for example, Star Trek: The Original Series came out from 1966 to 1969 and was mostly set from 2266 to 2269,note though it should be noted that this is not the Gregorian calendar, but a new calendar. These dates are called "Stardate X" but Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out in 1979 and was set in 2272, because it needed to be only a few years after the end of the series. Likewise for Star Trek: The Next Generation and its spin-offs, which took place almost a century after the beginning of the original series (2364 in TNG's Season 1) and continued in real-time thereafter, but originally premiered in 1987. Thus, when the titular ship of Star Trek: Voyager ended its, well, voyage in 2378, its last episode aired in 2001. The trope's name comes from Homestar Runner's pronounciation of an X in "futuristic" dates, such as the setting of Mega Man in 200X (later 20XX) and Metroid in 20X5. The series parodies this directly by setting their mock-anime mock-spin-off series in the year 20X6 (pronounced "Twenty Exty-Six"). That is, however, another trope. The Human Popsicle, Sealed Evil in a Can, and Sealed Good in a Can have often been that way for Exty Years too. Similarly, it's the almost universal practice for the Class Reunion. Not to be confused with Exactly Exty Years Ago, which is when two important In-Universe points are a round number of years ago (although these two tropes often appear together). |

Weirdly averted in the Lord Darcy mysteries: Set in an Alternate History Europe, each story takes place in the same year when it was published in reality. This makes for some amusing dissonance, as Victorian-level technology and archaic royalist politics appear side by side with dates in the 1950s. | |

Used in The Matrix, though Morpheus acknowledges that it's only an estimate. For the interested, the actual time setting appears to be somewhere in the late 3rd millennium AD, based on the Architect's description of the history of the Matrix. |

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is set in 2286 according to the official timeline. They travel back in time to 1986, the year the film was made, so they apparently went back exactly three hundred years. You'd think this would've at least been mentioned at some point in the actual film. European posters listed the date as coming back to 1987 (the year the film was released in those regions), averting the trope. | |

Prelude to Foundation: Published in 1988, this is the first story in the series to feature Hari Sheldon as The Protagonist, and his birth year is 11988 G.E. This is actually an Inverted Trope since his birthdate was chosen by Dr. Asimov when publishing Foundation (1951), and choosing to publish the prequel in 1988 is deliberately evoking the sense of taking place ten thousand years years in the future, despite Galactic Era not technically being compatible with Anno Domini (Year 1 G.E. is still thousands of years in the future). | |

Nineteen Eighty-Four: The book is a sort-of aversion; it's not a round number of years, but Orwell flipped the year he was writing in to get a "distant but chillingly near future" effect. (He originally wanted to title it Nineteen Forty Eight.) The movie version was not only shot in the real 1984, but every scene referencing a date was shot on the right date. |

'Marvel Universe: Averted by the Marvel 2099 imprint. The first titles in the line began in 1992, were set in the year 2099 and after a few years of popularity the line fizzled out of publication, with the last issue of the line published in early 1998. During the run, the series kept the date vague but presumably advanced very slowly. Originally, the series was going to be set in 2093. The character of Iron Man 2093 (Andros Stark) is a relic of this. The later Timestorm: 2009/2099 miniseries, on the other hand, made much of the time difference being exactly 90 years. And then again with a series of one-shots in 2019. The issues of Marvel 100th Anniversary Special are set in the year 2061, which is when Marvel will celebrate its 100th anniversary as Marvel. They were published in 2011, the 50th anniversary. |

In Day of the Tentacle, two of the game's three protagonists are projected two centuries into the past and future respectively, while one remains in the present day (of the game's release) — 1993. The setting in the past is 1793, the year the U.S. Constitution was written, while the setting in the future is 2193, where Purple Tentacle's scheme to conquer the world has finally paid off and humans are reduced to the Tentacles' slaves and pets. | |

Averted in Lexx, where the prologue to the first movie takes place 2,008 years before the rest, and the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 is 4,332 years. The dialogue falls into this trope though, since both those numbers are given in their exact value once, then rounded to the nearest thousand each time it's mentioned later (and they're mentioned a lot). | |

Superman: The 1965-66 stories about a future Superman were set in 2965-66 (or, when someone on the reprint staff noticed this totally contradicted the Legion, 2465-66). In the 1970 storyline The Immortal Superman, the titular hero travels to the year 101,970. "The Super-Steed of Steel": Inverted. During one of Linda's dreams in this 1962 storyline, Krypto and Streaky travel to the year 1942. |

The Back to the Future movies start in 1985, go back thirty years to 1955, jump forward thirty years to 2015, and go all the way back a hundred years to 1885. The original jump was at least justified in that Doc Brown selects 1955 as the date he invented time travel. Going forward to 2015, at the end of the movie, was given as a nice round number, after originally intending to go 25 years instead. Though one could say that Doc Brown only selected these dates because the writers decided it would be Exty Years from Publication. It's implied that the Doc changes his mind to 30 years after the events of the movie, which presumably stick out in his mind since Marty made the 30-year jump. Those events had some pretty profound effects on the Doc's life. And 1885 was a glitch in the already programmed 1985. |

Sliders averted this consciously. According to the mythology, if our heroes missed the window to slide out of their current universe, they wouldn't score another opportunity for 29.7 years. Series creator Tracy Tormé was very steadfast on not rounding it off. | |

Every season of Futurama is set a thousand years after its original air-time. The exception is that apart from the very first episode "Space Pilot 3000," where Fry awoke on New Year's Eve 2999, most of the first season which was aired in 1999 was set in 3000, rather than 2999. | |

Independence Day takes place in 1996 on and around July 4th (the film was released on July 2nd, 1996). The sequel takes place near July 4th, 2016 and was released on June 24th, 2016. The humans are about to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the invasion, when the aliens return. While some viewers speculate that the timing was intentional to demoralize humanity, the film itself makes it clear that the only reason the second attack comes is because humans shoot down the Sphere, resulting in the alien Queen picking up the signal and coming to collect it. | |

Time Trax featured a time machine which only could create a time jump or "arc" of 200 years, so they traveled from 2193 to (then present) 1993. As the time passed, so did the possible destination in the past, and we see the related actions of other future cops, so this is also an example of Meanwhile, in the Future…. The series couldn't decide on whether the machine actually sent people into their own past or into a time-shifted parallel world. The latter was stated frequently, including the fact that changing that past didn't affect their own future, but this didn't stop Darien from posting secret messages into newspapers to be picked up by his superiors in 2193, which would only be possible in the former case. | |

The Legion of Super-Heroes combines this and Comic-Book Time by always being set a thousand years after the current date. As an example, the action in 1982 storyline The Great Darkness Saga is set in 2982 A.D. The Death of Lightning Lad was a storyline published in 1963 and set in the year 2963. In 1961 story Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends, the Legion takes Supergirl to the year 2961. "Those Emerald Eyes Are Shining" was published in 1983 and is set in 2983. | |

Although not a "round" number, Judge Dredd is always set 122 years ahead of the present. This is a round number from a different direction — the first issue came out in 1977, so 122 years after that was 2099, so as to set it just before the turn of the century. | |

Doctor Who is very this trope. The stories set exactly a whole number of decades, centuries, or (in one instance) a millennium in the past or future are numerous: "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" was broadcast in 1964 and set in 2164. "The Tenth Planet" was broadcast in 1966 and set in 1986. "The Enemy of the World" was broadcast in 1968 and set in 2018. Slight variation "Colony in Space"; the story was broadcast in 1971 and set in 2472, 501 years in the future. But it is stated that the colonists arrived on the planet "a year ago", i.e. in 2471, exactly 500 years in the future. "Warriors of the Deep" was broadcast in 1984 and set in 2084. There's even a new Cold War going in, mirroring the one that was going on at the time of broadcast. "Terror of the Vervoids" was broadcast in 1986 and set in 2986. "The Waters of Mars" takes place on 21 November 2059, almost 50 years to the day after its broadcast on 15 November 2009. Showrunner and co-writer Russell T. Davies had gambled on the episode airing six days after it ended up going out, but it's close enough. The various volumes of Lance Parkin's History of the Universe (AHistory, in later editions) add more examples, by assuming that if the Doctor says "500 years in your future" or whatever, he means exactly that in the absence of any evidence to the contrary. Although if a date's in the millions, he'll go for the round number. |

Averted by the Marvel 2099 imprint. The first titles in the line began in 1992, were set in the year 2099 and after a few years of popularity the line fizzled out of publication, with the last issue of the line published in early 1998. During the run, the series kept the date vague but presumably advanced very slowly. Originally, the series was going to be set in 2093. The character of Iron Man 2093 (Andros Stark) is a relic of this. | |

The original Mega Man, released in 1987, takes place in the year "200X". The game itself is never more specific than that, but the math can be done to (roughly) place the game between the years 2007 and 2009, depending on the source. note While Mega Man 2 (200X) is officially stated to occur one year after the first game, there are conflicting sources on if Mega Man 3 is the first title in the the series to take place in 20XX (commonly assumed to be 2010), never mind that, though unlikely, the first "X" in "20XX" can still represent a 0. Although MM3's placement is ambiguous according to Word of God, Mega Man 4 and the rest of the Classic series are definitively set in 20XX, presumably meant to represent the years 2010 and beyond. | |

Homestar Runner did have a genuine example: In the Strong Bad Email "time capsule", Strong Bad reads an email suggesting that he make a time capsule that would be opened "in at least X0 years." Naturally, this led to an Imagine Spot of Stinkoman finding the time capsule in the year 20X6, although that would have been exty-two years after the cartoon was made. | |

The MMO SEER was released in 2009, but it and the rest of the SEER franchise take place in 2110 AD, just barely over 100 years afterwards, thus subverting the trope. | |

A hilariously inexplicable version is used in Gravity Falls: the show is set in 2012, the year it started airing, and the time traveler Blendin Blandin came from the year "twenty-sñeventy-twelve"—which is written 207̃012. | |
