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

Take my friend Mad Monkey, for instance. He enjoys Hip-Hop, plays funk bass guitar, but displays no characteristics of a teenage caucasian male or female who spends most of their time watching BET.
I can bring him with me into the projects to buy a bag of weed without people bieng suspicious of him bieng a narc, and he feels no need to alter his speech, carriage or dress in order to fit in or interact with people of another race.
I also have no fear of any inappropriate behavior or comments from him. He has common sensee, and is a good person.
He's cool.

A person with an unusual and unique skin color, extremely pale. Usually people with this skin tone wear black clothing and scarfs. It's often thought that people that maintain an off white color all year round are allergic to the sun. Most of the time off white's have a good sense of humor and are really funny and awesome. They don't mind if you poke fun at their skin color and their moms don't yell at the people that make fun of them.
Opposite of a tan person.

That off white, she's really funny and awesome. She even wore purple instead of black the other day!
Off white was over the other day and we were cracking up because she blended in with the off white walls at my house.
