Take me back to September 10, 1990

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Monday, September 10, 1990. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. In the United States, Labor Day of 1990 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song "Release Me" by Wilson Phillips is at the top of the singles charts, while "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Ghost is at the top of the box office. Margaret Thatcher is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet.

In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s are still popular. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. It's 1990, so the airwaves are being dominated by music artists such as Sinéad O'Connor, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Vanilla Ice, Mariah Carey, Stevie B, Madonna and MC Hammer. Despite international condemnation, economic sanctions and demands from the UN Security Council, Saddam Hussein's forces are continuing to occupy Kuwait.

Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" has just won the "Video of the Year" award at the 1990 MTV VMAs. Tom Fogerty, who played guitar for Creedence Clearwater Revival, has passed away at the age of 48 due to complications relating to AIDS and tuberculosis. A new sitcom called the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" has just started being aired on television.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Roald Dahl, John Bardeen, Miles Davis, and Freddie Mercury would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Magnum, P.I.", "Only Fools and Horses", "Full House", and "Seinfeld". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Duck Hunt", "DuckTales", "Golden Axe", and "Batman: The Video Game".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Muppet Babies", "Garfield and Friends", "Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers", and "Art Attack". Popular toys at the moment include My Little Pony (figures), the Ghostbusters Proton Pack, the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, and Polly Pocket.
