Take me back to June 27, 1999

Let's go back to the nineties.

The date is June 27, 1999, and it's a Sunday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Cancer. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

The summer of 1999 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "If You Had My Love" by Jennifer Lopez is at the top of the singles charts, while "Bring It All Back" by S Club 7 is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Big Daddy is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Friends", "Charmed", "Becker", and "Futurama". 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. A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. It's 1999, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Cher, TLC, Monica, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Santana and Ricky Martin.

The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as John F. Kennedy Jr., Wilt Chamberlain, Walter Payton, and Big Pun would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Mission Impossible", "Crash Bandicoot: Warped", "Mario Party", and "Counter-Strike".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Arthur", "City Guys", "Caillou", and "CatDog". Children are playing with toys such as Jenga, Fisher-Price Great Adventures Castle, Betty Spaghetty (doll), and Dragonfly RC Stunt Racer.
