Take me back to May 24, 1992

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Sunday, May 24, 1992. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the days 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. It is Memorial Day weekend in the United States. People are attending picnics, barbecues, and other outdoor gatherings to mark the beginning of summer. 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. 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 film "Lethal Weapon 3", starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, has just been released in movie theaters. In soccer, Spanish side Barcelona have won the European Cup after beating Sampdoria 1-0. A late goal by Dutch player Ronald Koeman in extra time is enough to give the club their first ever European Cup.

The last episode of the series "MacGyver", starring Richard Dean Anderson, has recently been aired on television. The show, which followed the adventures of an extremely resourceful secret agent, had been running for nearly seven years. The films "Alien 3" and "Encino Man" have just been released in movie theaters. In television news, the final episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" has just been aired. The talk show had been going since 1962.

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. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Only Fools and Horses", "Dinosaurs", "Step by Step", and "Baywatch". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "F-16 Combat Pilot", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project", "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior", and "Wolfenstein 3D".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "The Wonder Years", "Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers", and "Round the Twist". Popular toys at the moment include My Little Pony (figures), the Game Boy, Yo-yo, and Super Soaker (water gun).
