There are many recurring ideas in all different industries and there is the idea that 'it's all been done before'. This idea comes from all different ways for people to use a recurring theme, post modernism, bricolage and parodies.
Tropes are things that are repeated over time and eventually form a common convention. A trope maker is the initiator of the trope, an inverted trope is when the trop is reversed so the opposite is used or a subverted trope is when they are attacking the trope and challenging it.
Memes are ideas that aren't copied, like tropes, they are thought of at the same time.
Tropes are sometimes the representations that have built up about a certain thing, but in terms of music it is very closely related to the ideologies of the genre. For example pop music has tropes that it is fun, non explicit, whilst rock artists are said to be rebellious and all the tropes seem to reflect these.
