History PlayingWith / GenerationXerox

* '''Defied''': Annie and Billy dye their hair and style it completely different than their parents. They wear [[FreakyFashionMildMind different clothes than their parents do]] and try to be the opposite of their parents. (For example, if Alice was TheChick, then Annie strives to be the ActionGirl. If Bob was the quarterback on the football team, Billy joins Chess Club at school.)

** The writer is trying to show that [[{{Naruto}} History Repeats Itself.]]

* '''Exaggerated''': Not only does Annie look like a miniature Alice, she has the exact same personality. Billy looks and acts exactly like Bob.
