'''Basic Trope''': A reprise of a song, only DarkerAndEdgier.
* '''Straight''':
** The first time the song ''[[IWantSong My Hometown]]'' is played, Alice sings about how she plans to leave Troperville. The second time, she's discouraged and sings about being stuck there.
** [[TheHero Bob's]] {{Leitmotif}} gets a darker remix when he does a FaceHeelTurn. The melody changes scales from major to minor.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** At first, ''My Hometown'' is played, Alice is downright euphoric and about to get her big break. The second time, she's suicidal and alone.
** When Bob was TheHero, he had an extremely cheerful theme. When he makes a FaceHeelTurn, his theme becomes terrifying, and the melody changes scales from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydian_mode Lydian mode]] to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_mode Phrygian mode]].
* '''Downplayed''':
** The second time ''My Hometown'' is played, (now world-famous) Alice reminisce about all her past successes and failures, and sheds a happy and relieved tear on her nostalgia. This is a moment of her introspection and her confidence and sense of achievement, cuing a quiet yet uplifting music.
** Bob TookALevelInJerkass. The melody changes scales from major to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixolydian_mode Mixolydian mode]].
* '''Justified''': Alice's music teacher recommends her students to change the lyrics of their songs based on their mode.
* '''Inverted''':
** TriumphantReprise
** When [[BigBad Bob]] makes a HeelFaceTurn, his previously dark theme turns lighter.
* '''Subverted''':
** The reprise ''starts out'' dark... but as she sings, Alice gains hope.
** Bob does a FaceHeelTurn and receives a darker theme song until he stabs Emperor Evulz in the back, and his theme goes back to normal.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** ...but then reality sets back in.
** ...only to go back to its dark form when he reveals he killed Evulz for selfish reasons.
* '''Parodied''': In Alice's dark reprise, she is not only lamenting about her current state but also that if [[MediumAwareness she had a theme song]], now it would become dark.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': The reprise starts dark, but then she gains hope, and then reality sets back in until she reconsiders...
* '''Averted''':
** There's no reprise.
** The reprise is just as happy.
* '''Enforced''': The creator decided to make Alice's song darker in a reprise to show how serious the situation is.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Hey, Alice, wasn't that song really cheerful before?"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Evulz uses Alice's darker theme song to his advantage to discourage Alice even more until she gives up and accepts defeat.
* '''Defied''': Alice refuses to give up.
* '''Discussed''': "Is it me, or Bob's battle music is a bit sadder than before?"
* '''Conversed''': "It's the same music, now he will surely turn into a villain and kill everyone."
