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

The Irish fire drill is an alternate performance of the Chinese fire drill, in which one member of the traveling party exits the vehicle (while stopped at a light or in traffic), urinates, and then returns to the vehicle.
Connor: Come on guys, I really have to pee.
Sully: We're already late, just perform an Irish fire drill.
Connor: *leaves car, urinates on road shoulder, returns to car*

When we were hanging out at O'Brian's the other night and Ryan McMurphy was just standing there, quietly drinking his Guinness, I should have known he was about to pull an Irish Fire Drill.

Similar to a chinese fire drill. However, instead of waiting to get to a stoplight, participants exit the car while it is still moving. Can be performed with multiple cars and also with multiple cars where only the drivers switch. This manuever is usually preceded by several pints of guinness.
Alex: ......a chinese fire drill? Does it involve fireworks?
Ben: I said irish fire drill you retard. Its a cocktail with 2 parts beer and three parts stupidity.

Similar to a Chinese Firedrill, but the participants run around the outside of a pub when the drill is called. The participants must then finish the remainder of their drinks once a lap is completed. Bonus points for stealing homeless people's belongings and not vomiting.
Dude, I've been working out and running a lot lately. I'm training for O'Connell's Irish Fire Drill.
