Take me back to May 6, 1992

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Wednesday, May 6, 1992. Anyone born today will have the star sign Taurus. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

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 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 Sleepwalkers is at the top of the box office.

John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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 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. The riots that engulfed Los Angeles following the Rodney King verdict have recently come to an end. The riot began when four police officers accused of beating King back in 1991 were all found not guilty by a mostly-white jury, despite video evidence. Over 63 people have been left dead following the violence.

In France, 18 people have tragically lost their lives following the collapse of a terrace at a recent soccer game between SC Bastia and Olympique de Marseille. Mexican-American singer Selena has just released her album "Entre A Mi Mundo". The album contains songs such as "Como la Flor". 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.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Only Fools and Horses", "The Wonder Years", and "Baywatch". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Streets of Rage", "F-Zero", and "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Pingu", "The Wonder Years", "Saved by the Bell", and "Dink, the Little Dinosaur".

Popular toys at the moment include Screwball Scramble, Sylvanian Families, the Game Boy, and the SEGA Game Gear.
