Take me back to September 17th, 1995!

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is September 17th, 1995, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

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. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio is at the top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie To Wong Foo... 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 "Step by Step", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", "Beavis and Butt-Head", and "Friends". A new form of communication called "text messaging" is starting to become more widespread. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network. Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems.

In fashion, "grunge" clothing has fallen out of favor, and women are beginning to wear form-fitting outfits such as slip dresses and pencil skirts. Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy schoolgirl" look. The CD is quickly becoming the dominant format for music, and people are buying portable players such as the "Discman". Consequently, sales of cassette tapes are continuing to decline. It's 1995, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Celine Dion, Everything but the Girl, Coolio, Oasis, Michael Jackson, Boyzone, Madonna, Montell Jordan, TLC and Mariah Carey.

Former football player O.J. Simpson is currently being tried for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Following the recent shelling of the Sarajevo marketplace, NATO has decided to intervene. NATO forces are now carrying out a sustained air campaign against Serbian forces. A new video game console called the PlayStation has just been released by Sony.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Yitzhak Rabin, Stretch, Roxie Roker, and Dean Martin would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Myst", "Judge Dredd", "The Adventures of Batman & Robin", and "Killer Instinct". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "The Nanny", "Friends", and "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters".

Children are playing with toys such as the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Polly Pocket, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Styrofoam plane gliders.
