The generation following the baby boomers felt overshadowed by the example set forth by their predecessors. They were dubbed the “baby bust” generation since there were comparatively significantly fewer births after the boomers’ time. The young people of this time did not hold the same values as their parents. They wanted different things out of life, but felt powerless to affect change. The moniker Generation X was first applied to this age group by Charles Hamblett and Jane Deverson in their book of the same name in 1965. Later Canadian novelist Douglas Coupland popularized it in his Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture and used it to describe anyone who was considered “twentysomething” (another term coined by Gen Xers) in the years 1987 to 1991.

The Script

By the time Helen Childress started her script for Reality Bites, the term Generation X was a regular part of world’s vocabulary. Childress was in the Filmic Writing Program at USC when she started working for Jersey Films. She soon left school to concentrate on finishing her screenplay.
