5 0 ReplyI remember the info campaign of my country's change of currency when it got pegged to the Deutschmark after it did a Venezimbabwe. It was by a popular children's/teen tv show host.
I was about 2 or 3 but the only thing I remember is the news anchors repeating the word "Chechen" all the time. I understood nothing but it sounded funny.
We had a stereo with an inbuilt vinyl record player, as well as cassette tape player.
I played NES games on Terminator-2. Post-soviet collapse flooded the market with knockoffs which were decent for the price.
I remember watching Bill Clinton's scandal on the news though I had little idea what happened, nor what impeachment meant.

2 0 ReplySo assuming you actually have to...
You'll need to do something that doesn't come up in the social zeitgeist that often, but is instantly recognizable to anyone from that era.
Maybe talk about how a lot of the time people's watches said different times and you didn't know which ones were right?
Alternatively you can share some personal anecdote that relates to well known trends at the time. Like talk about listening to smells like teen spirit while smoking cigarettes stolen from your friend's older brother.
