TvTropes
The simplest way to describe TvTropes is to say that TvTropes is a collection of lists. And technically, it is. At TvTropes.org you will find a collection of lists that link to other lists that link to other lists that link to other links still. Also, the site has a random button.
But what this particular collection of lists does, is break down a lot of the media we consume by their common tropes; and gives everyone who reads it a common lexicon to describe these varied phenomena in media. TvTropes is not an analytical website and it is not a collection of theses; it is a dictionary, a library and reference guide to things that tend to be seen/read/heard in the media we see/read/hear. It probably won't change what you think, or how you think- but it will change the way you might articulate it.
Also it might ruin your life.
