User blog comment:William See/Cliche vs Trope: Big Diff?/@comment-24101790-20200210225606/@comment-5306249-20200211205132

I think with enough time and changes to writing styles, eventually MAYBE the stuff we see as cliche now could come back and be impactful or new. But I don't have any huge hope for it seeing as cliches seem to sink into the public unconscience for a long time. Personally I'm a little neurotic about cliches myself and admittedly I'll be unimpressed with something that does have effort put into it but is too popular to feel impactful. I have a threshhold between which cliches offend me, and which ones just don't do anything for me. I think the latter are the ones that are simple cliches and not "severe" cliches.
