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

Chaft is derived from the words: chav, shaft and chaff.
It refers to people, usually lower middle class, who get enjoyment pitying those worse off than them, so they get a sense of importance.
Chafts are not usually rich, but like to pretend they are more superior than those with less money or possessions than them. They think they are some how better than chavs, or they 'feel sorry' for chavs, who they say have the right to be chavs.
In reality chafts only want chavs to exist so that there is someone worse off than them to feel superior over. Chafts resent chavs who get on in the world, especially if they do better than them.

Person A: Ever since my mom's friend became a magistrate she has always looked down on us.
Person B: She probably thinks she is more important than she is now she can decide whether or not people go to prison. She is just a chaft really.
