Let's take a stroll down memory lane.
It is Friday, October 2, 1998. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.
The summer is long gone. Temperatures have become much cooler, and the evenings are beginning to get darker. There is a fresh, earthy scent in the air, and fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. In America, the song "The First Night" by Monica is at the top of the singles charts, while "Rollercoaster" by B*Witched is the number-one song in the UK.
Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Rush Hour is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair 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.
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. In fashion, bright and metallic colors are all the rage—a big change from the darker "grunge" colors of the early 1990s. Women are wearing maxi skirts, bell bottoms, knee boots, crop tops, tube tops, slip dresses, maxi coats, and platform shoes. Meanwhile, a lot of men have ditched their grunge and skater clothes in favor of a "dress casual" look. They are also beginning to cut their hair shorter. It's 1998, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Brandy, Monica, Aerosmith, R. Kelly, K-Ci & JoJo, Céline Dion, All Saints, Steps and Will Smith.
A musical subgenre called "Nu metal" is beginning to take off, aided by the success of bands such as Korn. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Michelle Thomas, Big L, Stanley Kubrick, and Joe DiMaggio would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Frasier", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Babylon 5", and "3rd Rock from the Sun".
Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Age of Empires", "Tenchu: Stealth Assassins", "World Cup 98", and "Gran Turismo". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Sister, Sister", "Little Bear", "CatDog", and "That '70s Show". Popular toys at the moment include Screwball Scramble, Littlest Pet Shop, Bop It, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
