Reality Bites is a 1994 American romantic comedy-drama film about people in their twenties. The plot is centered on Lelaina, an aspiring videographer working on a documentary called Reality Bites about the disenfranchised lives of her friends and roommates, and to a certain degree, about Lelaina herself.
The movie captured what it was like to be a Generation X in the 90’s helped by a killer soundtrack. This design captured the teen angst with the qoute “I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23” and the consumerism of the BIG GULP (which also acts as a reaction to the quote.)
