Take me back to May 11, 1992

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is May 11, 1992, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Taurus. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

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 Basic Instinct 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 "Only Fools and Horses", "'Allo 'Allo!", "In the Heat of the Night", and "Seinfeld". 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.

A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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. Mexican-American singer Selena has just released her album "Entre A Mi Mundo". The album contains songs such as "Como la Flor".

Rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot has just released his single "Baby Got Back". The song has caused controversy because of its sexual lyrics about women. Meanwhile, guitarist John Frusciante has decided to leave the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In soccer, Liverpool have just won the FA Cup final after defeating Sunderland 2-0. Goals from Michael Thomas and Ian Rush were enough to seal the deal.

The final episode of the popular sitcom "The Golden Girls" has just been aired on television. The show had been running for nearly seven years. This follows the "The Cosby Show", which also came to an end last month. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Anthony Perkins, Chuck Connors, Audrey Hepburn, and Thurgood Marshall would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Duck Hunt", "Streets of Rage", "F-16 Combat Pilot", and "WWF Super WrestleMania".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Full House", "Art Attack", "The Ren & Stimpy Show", and "Taz-Mania". Children are playing with toys such as Fear Street books, G.I. Joe (figures), Super Soaker (water gun), and Pogs / Milkcaps.
