The only thing I remember from this day was that my Super Mario RPG SNES game crashed in the middle of a boss battle.

Take me back to May 30, 1999

Let's go back to the nineties.

It is Sunday, May 30, 1999. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the days ahead.

The summer of 1999 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. It is Memorial Day weekend in the United States. People are attending picnics, barbecues, and other outdoor gatherings to mark the beginning of summer. In America, the song "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin is at the top of the singles charts, while "You Needed Me" by Boyzone is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie The Mummy is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The CD is quickly becoming the dominant format for music, and people are buying portable players such as the "Discman". Consequently, sales of cassette tapes are continuing to decline.

In fashion, bright and metallic colors are all the rage—a big change from the darker "grunge" colors of the early 1990s. Women are wearing maxi skirts, bell bottoms, knee boots, crop tops, tube tops, slip dresses, maxi coats, and platform shoes. Meanwhile, a lot of men have ditched their grunge and skater clothes in favor of a "dress casual" look. They are also beginning to cut their hair shorter. A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. It's 1999, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Cher, TLC, Monica, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Santana and Ricky Martin.

The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Fred Trump, John F. Kennedy Jr., Wilt Chamberlain, and Walter Payton would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "Touched by an Angel", "7th Heaven", and "The Royle Family".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Tenchu: Stealth Assassins", "Soulcalibur", "Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus", and "SimCity 3000". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Nanny", "Johnny Bravo", "Teletubbies", and "That '70s Show". Popular toys at the moment include Screwball Scramble, Littlest Pet Shop, Bop It, and Spice Girls dolls.
