Take me back to September 1, 1995

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is September 1, 1995, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

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. In the United States, it is the Friday before Labor Day weekend. Many Americans are planning barbecues and other gatherings. In America, the song "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson is at the top of the singles charts, while "Country House" by Blur is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Mortal Kombat 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", "The X-Files", "Frasier", 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. 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 "RoboCop Versus The Terminator", "Air Combat", "Command & Conquer", and "Tekken 2".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Biker Mice from Mars", "Street Sharks", "Johnny Bravo", and "In the House". Children are playing with toys such as Screwball Scramble, Micro Machines, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
