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

EC, which stands for East Cleveland, Ohio, is a ghetto ass, corrupt city on the East Side of Cleveland. In EC, every other house is abandoned, and some are literally falling down. Crime is out of control, and the city is too broke to hire more police. There are few bright spots in EC. There's no reason to go to EC unless you're looking for drugs, prostitutes, or some other illicit activity. It was the first city in the US to install automated traffic cameras, but because of corrupt deal-making, very little of the money from tickets actually makes it to the police. It's the former home to Gilded Age millionaires such as John D. Rockefeller.
The saddest thing about EC is that it was once a really nice city, but now it's just a god-forsaken hell hole.
Note: there is a very small part of EC that is still nice, it's called Forest Hills, and it's a neighborhood planned and designed by John D. Rockefeller's son in the early 1920s to be an idyllic upper class community.
