Cultural reset

A single point in time that serves as a reference point to indicate a significant shift in popular culture. The point in time often refers to a specific real-world event that is tremendously influential, so much so that it profoundly affects and reshapes popular and mainstream culture. Usually, a cultural reset is promptly followed by a new Zeitgeist (which means "the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs").
Trump winning the 2016 election is a clear-cut example of a cultural reset. After this point in time, pop culture became increasingly more fixated on politics and social justice. Internet memes went through a complete terrible overhaul. Pop music began to shift from inspirational to silly frivolous tunes (both musically and lyrically). And people have started adopting a more critical view towards what they read on the news.

cultural relativism

The idea that a person's beliefs should not be used to judge another culture.
Person 1: That country is disgusting with their ritual baby murders, female genital mutalation, and torturing of innocent people.

Person 2: Man, you have no cultural relativism! Don't use your humanitarian values to judge another culture!

Cultural Marxism

Cultural Marxism is sometimes labeled as a conspiracy theory by people on the far left, but this definition explains how most people use the term in political conversation:

Marxism can be summed up as the interpretation that the world is best understood as a power struggle between different wealth groups (poor, middleclass, rich, bourgeoisie, proletariot, etc). Cultural Marxism is a term used to describe the idea that our society is best interpreted as being a power struggle between different identity groups or cultures(women, men, gay, straight, black, white).

Cultural Marxism is used by most people refers to a kind of behavior that looks for power imbalances in everyday culture (like asking a person where they are from, or complementing a black persons hair) and problematizing those interactions, causing people to resent others for innocuous little social misdemeanors.

Cultural Marxism assumes the worst of the actions of a supposedly powerful group by saying that their little faux-pas are really egregious examples of latent prejudice, and excuses the hatred and rudeness of the supposedly weaker group by saying that their behavior is an expression of resisting power or "asserting their personhood".

Cultural Marxists hunt relentlessly to find things to be offended about, and claim to speak on behalf of all oppressed groups, though most of the time cultural marxists are rich, priviledged, upper and middle class white college women with multicolored hair.
"Like every moral busybody across history, Cultural Marxists always come at you with this famous glint in their eye that suggests that they know better than you how you should live your life and they will make you if they get the chance."

"Cultural Marxism is the practice of interpreting what people say in the most uncharitable way."

cultural distraction

A cultural distraction is due to cultural activities that are practiced by one culture but has also become an activity for other cultures although it doesn't really pertain to their own culture or doesn't really matter, really.
"Do we really have to participate in this cultural distraction of Chinese New Year's again? Really? Why are we celebrating their New Year again? Are we going to end up buying trinkets for things we don't really believe in? I think this is all a marketing ploy to sell trinkets every year.
