Take me back to September 13th, 1993!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is September 13th, 1993, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. Schools and colleges are starting again and Autumn has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool and trees are starting to shed their leaves.

In America, the song Dream Lover by Mariah Carey is on top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Mr. Vain by Culture Beat is the number one hit song. Bill Clinton is currently the President of the United States, and the movie The Fugitive is at the top of the Box Office.

In the United Kingdom, John Major is the current Prime Minister. Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, the vast majority of people still have no idea what "the Internet" is. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s 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.

In Europe, a war is continuing to rage on 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. A new film called "True Romance", starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, has recently been released in movie theaters.

Grunge band "Nirvana" have released their new album "In Utero". This is their third studio album and it contains songs such as "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies". A new animated series called "Animaniacs" has made its TV debut on Fox Kids. The show consists of multiple characters and mini episodes.

Following the signing of the Oslo I Accord, footage of PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin shaking hands in Washington is being broadcast on all major news stations. The scenes bring hope that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will come to an end. A controversial fighting game called "Mortal Kombat" has just been released on the SNES and the SEGA Genesis. The game has received criticism because of its blood and gore. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Vincent Price, River Phoenix, Frank Zappa and Bill Hicks would all be still alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Married... with Children", "Dinosaurs", "Home Improvement" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", "Mortal Kombat", "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" and "Tecmo NBA Basketball". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Blossom", "Beverly Hills, 90210", "Rugrats" and "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers".
