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

Started in North London at crazy house parties. It is when stuff is broken or moved around or just generally mucked up in people's houses. It is not necessarily vandalism, just annoyances e.g. throwing an ironing board over a fence, or rearranging all the cupboards in the kitchen.
Also there is a varient called emotional mischief, whereby harsh rumours are spread about a particular person.
When mischief starts, the word "mischief" is chanted and the group partaking in the mischief charge around the house. It can also be done subtly.

A male dog that will fucking bite you and make you bleed and cry in pain and not give a fuck. Mischief is a name meaning trouble and no good. Mischief or Chief has the audacity to jump and knock you down without a fucking care in the world.
