Take me back to July 29, 1991

Let's go back to the nineties.

The date is July 29, 1991, and it's a Monday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Leo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer of 1991 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. The song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Terminator 2 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 "'Allo 'Allo!", "Married... with Children", "In the Heat of the Night", and "Family Matters". 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. A civil war is taking place in the African country of Rwanda. It's 1991, so the airwaves are being dominated by artists such as Bryan Adams, Michael Jackson, Roxette, R.E.M., Color Me Badd and Paula Abdul.

Boxer Mike Tyson has just been arrested on suspicion of raping Miss Black America contestant Desiree Washington. Meanwhile, in Milwaukee, a suspected serial killer called Jeffrey Dahmer has just been arrested after human remains were found in his apartment. In Europe, the Soviet Union is continuing to dissolve. In celebrity news, Pee-wee Herman actor Paul Reubens has been arrested for masturbating at an adult movie theater in Sarasota, Florida.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Miles Davis, Freddie Mercury, Benny Hill, and Robert Reed would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Paperboy", "SimCity", "DuckTales", and "Phantasy Star II". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Saved by the Bell", "Blossom", "TaleSpin", and "Clarissa Explains It All".

Children are playing with toys such as Screwball Scramble, Micro Machines, Koosh Ball, and Fear Street books.
