A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A common misspelling of the Arab name "Bashir", which, like "Bashar," means "deliverer of good news." The current holder of this rare naming is a man from Los Angeles who likes to study astronomy and make video games with his friends while scarfing down watermelons and beef ribs and making himself fat. He is obsessed with anything that can be described positively and, while working, he will do something stupid and cause a scientific discovery. Talking to him will make your IQ go up and down at the same time.
*Example 1*
Person 1(texting): Have you seen this guy Basheer? He's an immigrant from Syria and he looks pretty interesting
Person 2(texting): Yeah, but I think his name is Bashir...
Person 1: I don't know, he looks like a "Basheer" to me especially since he went all apeshit over those watermelons!
*Example 2*
Basheer: Hey guys let's play ping pong atop a nuclear reactor!
*He and friends Alex and Eli do so. Eli falls into the nulear reactor and turns into a hyperactive technologically advanced cyborg monkey*
Basheer: Oh god what have we done?
Alex: We've sped up the evolution process!
*silence*
Basheer: So do you like cars?

Basheer is a name often used on white Lebanese people. They are also known to be so white that they can be used as artificial suns. They also embrace their basic white bitch personality; a Basheer who does things that he thinks makes him so unique or edgy but in all honesty are what all other basic bitches do, as well. Basic bitches often enjoy shoes and shit, if still in school basic bitches might also have a large collection of shoes and clothes. They often order Caramel Frappucinos with extra caramel and whipped cream at Starbucks, the only 'coffee shop' that they even know exists.
Son: "Daddy what is that blinding light"
Dad :"Son, that's the rare creature called Basheer."
Son :"Why is it so rare?"
Dad: "Because they are originally from Lebanon"

A amazing handsome person who often losses his temper. Wonβt share his feelings with anyone.Basheerβs really like sports and are usually 6 feet tall. He will sacrifice for the greater good. Really likes to learn and is really hard to come across.
