Take me back to October 21, 1992

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is October 21, 1992, and it's a Wednesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Libra. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have become much cooler, and the evenings are beginning to get darker. There is a fresh, earthy scent in the air, and fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. Halloween 1992 is quickly approaching and stores are selling costumes and decorations.

In America, the song "End Of The Road" by Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts, while "Sleeping Satellite" by Tasmin Archer is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Last of the Mohicans 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 "In the Heat of the Night", "Quantum Leap", "One Foot in the Grave", and "Martin". 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.

In the United States, the campaign for the 1992 presidential election is in full swing, with Democratic Party nominee Bill Clinton taking on Republican incumbent George H. W. Bush. A new horror movie called "Candyman" has just been released in movie theaters. Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor is continuing to receive backlash over her decision to rip up a photograph of the Pope on Saturday Night Live earlier this month. At a tribute concert for Bob Dylan, O'Connor is booed by many members of the audience.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Chuck Connors, Audrey Hepburn, Thurgood Marshall, and Andre the Giant would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Paperboy", "Desert Strike ", "Road Rash II", and "Ecco the Dolphin". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", "The Care Bears", "Count Duckula", and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper".

Children are playing with toys such as My Little Pony (figures), Polly Pocket, Pogs / Milkcaps, and Mighty Max.
