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

A fandom is a group, or community, of people who like a game, book, or specific topic. Usually on social media, a fandom is not a uncommon sight
Most people have gone into a fandom, and there is a most likely chance a person will go into a fandom, and leave one, once in their life.
Fandoms can be good or bad, depending on the age of people, the smarts of people, and the amount of cringe of people. Emojis and cringe, etc. can ruin a fragile fandom. Not to mention horny artists who have the urge to make porn. (At least the art is good.)

Fandom means family. And family means no one sits alone in mental institute. Because there are so many days when it looks like we are all going to end up in one.
