Take me back to September 7, 2002

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

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 2002 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song "Dilemma" by Nelly & Kelly Rowland is at the top of the singles charts, while "The Tide Is High" by Atomic Kitten is the number-one song in the UK.

In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses.

A rock music genre called "Emo" is beginning to become more and more mainstream.
