Take me back to February 18, 1995

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Saturday, February 18, 1995. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Aquarius. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

Valentine's Day of 1995 has just passed. In America, the song "Creep" by TLC is at the top of the singles charts, while "Think Twice" by Celine Dion is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Billy Madison 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. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Eazy E, Selena, Bob Ross, and Jerry Garcia would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", "Beavis and Butt-Head", "The Nanny", and "Touched by an Angel". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Mortal Kombat II", "Donkey Kong Country", "FIFA Soccer 95", and "Theme Park". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Rosie and Jim", "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Doug", and "Home Improvement".
