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 man who needs no words but since this is a website dedicated to definitions we'll indulge those who read this. Firas: The culmination of several different intellectual strains that produced a genius that few can rival. While also being a combo of several different intellectual traditions this term also incorporates the traits of several different world cultures. Should there ever be a global cataclysm this man will be the one for whom all our hopes will be dependent upon. The true heart and soul of this individual is the undying spirit dedicated to all things just and moral. However, should the world ever turn its back upon this Cadillac of a man, we shall be in a danger to grandiose for words. It is within his power to destroy or save, the choice, is truly, up to the world.

Fira is stalker kece. She's a slow but sure type. She would rather suffer through whatever consequences than to EVER admit being wrong. And she never, ever gives up. Fira's accept people the way they are. If she can't deal with the flaws a person have then she move on not try to change them. She's So Romantic and Unpredictable!:p
