Trope maker - the initial inspiration for the tropeInverted trope - a trope reversed
Subverted trope - a trope that deliberately turns the trope on its head, or attacks it
For Example
Many artists sing about the DJ playing music louder, and the trope maker for this may have been Sam Cooke in the song 'Having a Party'. Other artists have then developed this, such as Rihanna with the song 'Pon de Replay' in which she says 'Hey Mr. DJ, won't you turn the music up', and another of her songs which has the lyrics 'please don't stop the music'. Other examples are Madonna in the song 'Music' where she sings 'Hey, Mr. DJ, put a record on, I wanna dance with my baby'.
Inverted tropes for this include 'Evacuate the dance floor' by Cascada, and 'Don't play that song again' by Nicki French, whereas subverted versions are within the song 'Panic' by The Smiths where they say 'hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ'.
