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

Ville Valo (lead singer for HIM) thought of this symbol for him band. It is a combination of a pentagram and and a heart. The pentagram resembles death and/or evil. The heart stands for love and/or good. Ville describes it as a kind of yin-yang. Which is a common theme with the bands names of their albums.

A heartagram is first and foremost the signature symbol for HIM (His Infernal Majesty). Despite what many people think, Bam Margera did NOT come up with the heartagram. Ville Valo, the lead of HIM, gave Bam personal permission to use it because, aside of television, they're fairly close friends. Also, the heartagram is absolutely NOT satanic. The creator of the heartagram itself (Ville)says that it is 'the 21st century yin and yang'. It's both a heart and a pentagram. The pentagram symbolizes anger, hate, all the dark, depressing things in some peoples' daily lives that not many seem to want to address. The heart is love and light, the perfect balance to the inverted pentagram. In my personal opinion, the heartagram is an amazing symbol to an awesome band.
How can I give an example to show something with such a simple concept...just a heartagram...that, if I do say so myself, is fairly well-explained???

the juxtaposition of love/hate, life/death, heaven/hell. As Ville Valo says it is like a Yin and Yang symbol for the Western World.
Also the symbol for the band HIM

a Symbol which repersents Heaven and hell, light and darkness, love and hate etc. some people mistake it as a satanist symbol, but it is not.

The Heartagram is a symbol meaning Love Metal. It was made by the band H.I.M. or His Infernal Majesty. It is a mix of a pentagram, symbolizing metal music, and a heart, symbolizing love. This logo has nothing to do with Bam Margera, he just likes the band H.I.M. and uses their logo on his clothing and TV show.
