Take me back to May 29, 1992

Let's go back to the nineties.

The date is May 29, 1992, and it's a Friday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

The summer of 1992 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. In the United States, the Memorial Day weekend of 1992 has recently come and gone. To many, this means that the summer has officially started. In America, the song "Jump" by Kriss Kross is at the top of the singles charts, while "Please Don't Go" by KWS is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Lethal Weapon 3 is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Knots Landing", "Cheers", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and "Home Improvement".

Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. A civil war is taking place in the African country of Rwanda. It's 1992, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Kris Kross, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Right Said Fred, Snap! and Nirvana.

In fashion, many of the trends from the late 1980s are still in vogue. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts, and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. Grunge fashion has also become mainstream, popularizing band t-shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeans, and Doc Martens. A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The last episode of the series "MacGyver", starring Richard Dean Anderson, has recently been aired on television. The show, which followed the adventures of an extremely resourceful secret agent, had been running for nearly seven years.

In television news, the final episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" has just been aired. The talk show had been going since 1962. The films "Sister Act", "Alien 3" and "Encino Man" have all just been released in movie theaters. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Anthony Perkins, Chuck Connors, Audrey Hepburn, and Thurgood Marshall would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Streets of Rage", "Civilization", and "Road Rash II". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Smurfs", "Garfield and Friends", "Dink, the Little Dinosaur", and "Darkwing Duck".
