If adulthood came with a manual, we’d know that all of life’s problems can be solved with five bucks and a conversation – and maybe Frampton Comes Alive. At least, according to 1994’s Generation X classic Reality Bites. Maligned as a self-indulgent rallying cry for the slacker generation, the romantic comedy captured an entire generation’s crippling anxiety ushered in by adulthood.
