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

Your chances of survival are far better in Detroit at night than they are in North Korea in broad daylight.

The government of The People's Republic of North Korea has determined this definition to be unsatisfactory. The internet troll behind this definition realized his mistake and voluntarily took the death penalty.

The only place in the world where poor, skinny, overworked plebs must bow their broken backs before giant golden statues of a morbidly obeese geezer with an ugly haircut, or risk losing their lives.
As an American I could never go to North Korea, but after reading Find True North by Richard Li, I just want to help those people even more.

The most worthless "country" in the world. Their "WMDs" can only fly 35 seconds before falling apart. Their soldiers are starving and are still using low-quality guns and equipment dating back to the end of WW2. The people have no food to eat, yet the dumbass leader Kim Jong Il spends 700 grand USD on Hennessy Cognac every year.
