Take me back to September 6, 1993

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Monday, September 6, 1993. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. People in the United States are currently celebrating Labor Day, symbolizing the end of summer 1993. In America, the song "Can't Help Falling In Love" by UB40 is at the top of the singles charts, while "Mr. Vain" by Culture Beat is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Rising Sun 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.

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. Meanwhile, in technology news, a relatively new storage format called the CD is beginning to outpace the regular cassette tape in music sales. The disc-based format gives listeners the ability to skip between songs instead of having to manually rewind and forward.

A playing discs game called "Pogs" is currently spreading in popularity throughout the world. It's 1993, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Meat Loaf, UB40, Snow, Haddaway, Whitney Houston, Take That, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. In television news, a new children's show called the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" has recently made its debut.

Singer Mariah Carey has just released her new album "Music Box". The album contains songs such as "Dreamlover" and "Hero". Death Row rap star Snoop Dogg and his bodyguard have been charged with the murder of a rival gang member. Meanwhile, the music video for "Jeremy" by American rock band Pearl Jam has just won "Video of the Year" at the 1993 MTV VMA awards. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Vincent Price, River Phoenix, Frank Zappa, and Charizma would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Full House", "One Foot in the Grave", "Step by Step", and "Martin". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Duck Hunt", "Kirby's Dream Land", "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins", and "Star Fox". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dink, the Little Dinosaur", "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Clarissa Explains It All", and "The Little Mermaid".

Popular toys at the moment include Lego Pirates, Fear Street books, G.I. Joe (figures), and the Talkboy.
