Let's take a stroll down memory lane.
It is Friday, November 8, 1996. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.
It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "No Diggity" by Blackstreet is at the top of the singles charts, while "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" by Robson & Jerome is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Ransom 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 1996, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, Céline Dion, Oasis, Mark Morrison, Spice Girls, Los Del Rio, 2Pac and Coolio.
