City outside of Boston that used to have industry and house people who worked in it. Historically a working class haven that suffered a lot during Boston’s deindustrialization and saw a lot of people move out. In the past ten years or so, the housing prices went from cheapish to fairly high due to proximity to Boston and attracting new, wealthy Bostonians and millenials. However, they mght be disappointed by what they find. Schools suck, population is confused about the rapid changes, people being priced out, etc. While the neighborhoods are supposedly getting good ON PAPER, the town itself is not. Most things about it still suck and the city does not have enough money to fix the roads or keep streetlights on. However, some neighborhoods such as West Medford (a historically black hamlet) and the area north of the Square are getting nicer, and I see why people might want to move there. Overall its a town where adults who lived there for 25+ years are stuck in the past, kids are bored and pissed, and newcomers are chillin. The town as a whole seems to be trying to figure out what the future has in store.

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
