May 22 Word of the Day
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

The people from the Origin of Bangladesh. These people are from Eastern part of South Asia. They speak Bangla/Bengali. They are mixed with various races, the most significant one is the mongoloid. Believe it or not, its true. That's why many Bengalis from Bangladesh have a very round face with high cheek bones, flat noses, small or chinky eyes, full lips, black strong hair, very short. Bengalis usually have a tan, or a very light brown color. Some do have a more tanned yellow skin. Many Bengalis look Filipino, Malaysian, Cambodian, Hispanic, Indian, Nepalese, Indonesian, and such. This proves that we have mongoloid blood in us. The main religion of Bangladesh is Muslim, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Many Bengalis like hip hop and pop music. The girls love Kpop (Korean Pop) music now and so do some guy but they prefer more of English music such as rap or rock. A significant amount of Bengalis live in Japan, South Korea, USA, and Malaysia.

people coming from bangladesh. THEY AREN'T THE SAME AS INDIAN PEOPLE. WE ARE ALSO OF MONGOLIAN DECENT. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, THAT'S THE TRUTH. bengalis are also more oriental looking than indian people in general, if you've noticed. 3 out of 5 of the nobel prize winners from the indian subcontinent/southern asia are bengali. bengalis as a mass are very deep thinkers, though not the most athletic. they are a rather close knit community, and even fought against the pakistani army (which had tanks, while bengalis had spears) to keep their language.
