No matter if you remember it as the year world met the charismatic saxophonist/ POTUS, Bill Clinton, or the year we were all thrust into the riveting plot of Melrose Place, 1992 was definitely no stranger to memorable moments. From Tarantino and his Reservoir Dogs to the introduction of the "young lovable, huggable" members of Kris Kross, and the epic tongue-twisting hits from Das EFX's Dead Serious, this year was filled with iconic people, music, films, television shows, and much more.
A year when reality TV began to take center stage, with the introduction of MTV's The Real World, and the emergence of the impeccably newsworthy Dateline, prime time television during 1992 was certainly nothing to sneeze at. And who could forget when the crazy cool Martin Lawrence first "w'zuped" his way into our hearts, or when Men Behaving Badly first worked its way into pop-cultural infamy? Well, maybe you did, but you certainly shouldn't have!
A year in which we were gifted with legendary tracks such as En Vogue's "Free Your Mind" and the infamous ode to voluptuous backsides, "Baby Got Back", no matter how well you remember the early 90s, there are surely many things about them you will never forget. From the birth of the nation's most massive shopping mall, Mall of America, to the wrath of the fierce storm, Hurricane Andrew, 1992 had more than its fair share of ups and downs.
Either way, although it may seem like it was only yesterday, the mere fact that it was the year in which cutting-edge Windows 3.1 emerged onto the market tells us that it certainly was not. Traveling several decades into the past can be a trippy experience filled with accurate memories and ones you may have created on your own. No matter if you spent the year working, going to school, or Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, the early 90s were years that shaped the world as we know it today.
Whether you remember it fondly or you're simply elated that you survived it, 1992 deserves its just do from us all.
