Take me back to May 1st, 1992!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is May 1st, 1992, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Taurus. Most 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. In America, the song Jump by Kriss Kross is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Deeply Dippy by Right Said Fred is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Sleepwalkers 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", "MacGyver", "Married... with Children", and "The Wonder Years".

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. In soccer, Leeds United have just won the Football League First Division after beating Sheffield United 3–2. Their title win was confirmed after challengers Manchester United lost 2-0 to Liverpool. The city of Los Angeles is engulfed in riots following the recent Rodney King verdict. Four police officers accused of beating King in 1991 have all been found not guilty by a mostly white jury, despite video evidence. In response, residents in South LA are looting stores, burning buildings, and attacking passersby.

In television, the final episode of "The Cosby Show" has just been aired. A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Lithuania, which became an independent nation after the recent collapse of the Soviet Union, has just introduced its new currency, the talonas.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Robert Reed, Anthony Perkins, Chuck Connors, and Audrey Hepburn would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants", "F-Zero", "F-16 Combat Pilot", and "Civilization". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Fireman Sam", "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Beverly Hills, 90210", and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?".

Children are playing with toys such as Screwball Scramble, the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Lego Pirates, and Super Soaker (water gun).
