The dialogue between the father and the son shows a reversal in audeince expectations. We see the father shouting and swearing at the teenager, which is normally something we would expect to hear from the teenager. The father's aggressive reaction to the diegetic rock music plays to the stereotype that teenagers play loud music and are inconsiderate to older people. His reaction also plays to the stereotype that teenagers frustrate their parents.
There are digetic sounds of two different alarms during this first scene, which both challenge the stereotypical view of teenagers. Firstly, the protagonists alarm goes off to wake him up, but we already see him in bed with his eyes wide open whilst his alarm goes off. Most people see teenagers as lazy, and the stereotypical view is that they sleep as much as they can. The second digetic alarm sound is one from the protagonists watch, which shows it's more personal to him and is a routine thing, as he opens his curtains to look at the naked woman across the road. This again challenges the stereotype of teenagers, as it shows the protagonists being organised and everything already planned out.
