A group of people who originate from the eastern Mediterranean country of Lebanon, which constitutes part of the Levant. The majority of Lebanese are of Phoenician heritage. The Phoenician ancestors of the Lebanese are also the prominent genotype of a large portion of the Mediterranean basin including large portions of Italy, Greece, Malta extending all the way to Cornwall in Wales (UK).
There are 19 different religious sects in Lebanon, a country of less than 4 million. Physically, Lebanese tend to be fair skinned, with either brown, green or blue eyes and dark brown, brown, sandy, or red hair. Blond blue-eyed Lebanese comprise approximately 10-15% of the population as many Lebanese carry characteristics of Crusader invaders from Northern and Central Europe.
There are 4 times as many Lebanese outside of Lebanon as there are in the country itself. Nine million reside in Brazil alone and this diaspora constitutes 25% of Brazil's parliament.
The Lebanese diaspora has been immensely successful in politics, business, entertainment and academia (with several Nobel Laureates of Lebanese Background). Some of the wealthiest men/families in the world are of Lebanese Ancestry.

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

People who sit on a milk crate outside Oportos at Brighton screaming derogatory comments at woman who "want them" and stare at males from other ethnicities and say "what????" several times if they have eye contact.
Also people who congregate in their cars(WRX,Corolla,anything but a muscle car) to Stanmore Mc'Donalds but don't go inside because the food is too expensive.
