May 22 Word of the Day
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

Conveniently located in the state that gave the world bourbon, Louisville's bars stay open till 4:00-- Unlike its faceless neighbor to the north, where they mostly drink smirnoff at crappy local shows until everyone goes home at 2.

A city located on the very northern part of Kentucky. Also the only city that really matters in Kentucky, because Shelbyville has a heroin problem and Lexington is too far away and boring. Sometimes they like to say they don’t live in Kentucky and in an attempt to separate themselves will refer to the area as Kentuckiana.
Kids here tend to think they are hot shit, but forget that they still live in Kentucky. Especially if they go to the infamous private schools such as Sacred Heart, Trinity, Saint X, and Assumption. the only other valid options for public schools are Manual and Atherton, which is a discount Manual. You’ll find them around Bardstown road in the Highlands area or in the only two malls worth going to, St. Matthews and
Oxmoor.
The pronunciation is a local only joke that no one finds funny when they put it on shirts, signs, stickers, and coffee mugs. Louisville is pronounced (Lewl-ville) and no one will say it other wise unless they live in Indian Hills.
Our mayor? he’s okay. Our downtown? trash. Our pending gang war between east and west? could be worse. The rates for suicides in our school system? All time high baby. Our teachers? Underpaid.

A major metropolis of about 690,000 located along the Ohio River in the Lower Midwest. This is also the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is the "Most Southern of Northern Cities."
We pass through and see the incredible skyline of Louisville on my way back to college in northern Kentucky.

I live in Lousiville, Kentucky. I am a fan of the University of Lousiville Cardnals, winner of the 2005 Liberty Bowl.
