Take me back to November 30, 1995

Let's go back to the nineties.

It is Thursday, November 30, 1995. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder.

In America, the song "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts, while "I Believe / Up On The Roof" by Robson & Jerome is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie GoldenEye is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

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. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. NATO, which intervened in August, is now carrying out a sustained air campaign against Serbian forces.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Roxie Roker, Dean Martin, Margaux Hemingway, and Agnieszka Kotlarska would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Step by Step", "Walker, Texas Ranger", and "The Nanny". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Mortal Kombat II", "The Jungle Book", "Theme Park", and "Phantasmagoria".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Art Attack", "Boy Meets World", "The Magic School Bus", and "Friends". Popular toys at the moment include the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, the SEGA Game Gear, Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the PlayStation (PS1).
