Independence Day in theaters, Seinfeld on TV, The Macarena all over the place. Hell yeah, '96.
Nintendo 64 came out. Pokemon, Quake, Duke Nuke 3D, Command and Conquer red alert, Kirby Superstar, Metal Slug, Twisted Metal 2, Tomb Raider, and not awesome games came out.
Daft Punk released their debut album. The Spice Girls debuted. 2Pac released his last album before his death. Space Jam released in theaters, along with Mars Attacks, and the first Tom Cruise Mission Impossible.
On a personal note, I think I had the most friends at once in 1996. School was going well. I was getting old enough that I had more independence as a teenager and could go out to see friends. Life was good.
