A romantic orientation on the asexual spectrum which describes an individual who feels romantic attraction towards others, but who does not desire reciprocation of that attraction or does not wish to enter a romantic relationship. (Please note that romantic orientation is separate from sexual orientation.)

Some feel that this term is appropriation of an aspect of the lesbian community and prefer the term akoiromantic, which means the same thing.

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

A romantic orientation which falls on the aromantic spectrum. It is when you prefer it if person you have romantic feelings for does not reciprocate your feelings, and can lead to a feeling of discomfort if they do reciprocate your feelings. Due to some people feeling that this term appropriates an aspect of the lesbian community, some people prefer the term akoiromantic or apromantic, which mean the exact same thing.
