Creed et al. probably wouldn't have existed without Nirvana.

Anne Rice's Vampire books. Pretty sure Twilight wouldn't have happened if Meyers hadn't been influenced by Rice.

Especially if it seeps into real life.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. It is amazing, but everyone wanted to copy it. Fun fact - Vampires prior to Bram did not have fangs, they used to have to make an incision with something else to let the blood flow.

they also were more like ADD zombies. Bram Stoker's work and also Varney the Vampire are held as the origins of the "Victorian Vampire" archetype.

Varney actually predates Dracula, but didn't have as good of marketing.

Iron Man. Fine enough, but brought on the "beancounter's immersion" of mandatory cameo crossovers and a deluge of watered-down samey-ness.

Left 4 Dead. I am so fucking sick of zombies now.

I'd have to say The Walking Dead. As far as I remember, it spawned the zombie craze, and nothing good came from that.

28 Days Later probably did that, followed up with the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Walking Dead didn't get popular until it landed on AMC and TWD has been in publication since 2003.

It was a product of the craze more than anything, the romero remakes predated it by a good bit.

Whichever was the first in this current deluge of post-apocalyptic/dystopian teen romance books. The Hunger Games?

I think the supernatural teen rom/drams are worse.

But those were based on Twilight, which was bad.

Battle Royale. They all want to be battle royale.
