Just discovered I know all the words to Eve 6’s “Inside Out”, despite not having heard it in, perhaps, decades. Gen X represent. I feel very Reality Bites proud over here. Any other Gen Xers over here?
What song resonates with your generation, with you, even though you haven’t heard it in forever? What movie is your Reality Bites, your The Craft, your Clueless? (That’s right, we were 20-somethings when all of those came out. So, there. Get off my lawn.)
“The tick-tock of the clock is painful, all sane and logical…tie me to the bedpost”
(I am now listening to Everclear, and I know all the words: “I am still dreaming of your ghost…”
I had to look it up. The Reality Bites soundtrack:
