Take me back to July 28, 1992

Let's go back to the nineties.

It is Tuesday, July 28, 1992. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Leo. The summer of 1992 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.

In America, the song "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot is at the top of the singles charts, while "Ain't No Doubt" by Jimmy Nail is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Mo' Money 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. Fearing extradition to the United States, Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar has recently escaped from his luxury self-designed prison near Medellín.

The 1992 Summer Olympics are being held in Barcelona, Spain. In music news, Ice-T's heavy metal band "Body Count" have decided to pull the controversial song "Cop Killer" from their debut album. The song, which contains lyrics about shooting police officers, has been heavily criticized by political figures such as President George H. W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle. 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", "'Allo 'Allo!", "The Wonder Years", and "In the Heat of the Night". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Paperboy", "Streets of Rage", "WWF Super WrestleMania", and "Road Rash II". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Care Bears", "Saved by the Bell", "Round the Twist", and "Beverly Hills, 90210".

Popular toys at the moment include Micro Machines, Lego Pirates, Yo-yo, and the SEGA Game Gear.
