A unique specimen who supposedly calls him/herself a football fan, when in fact the majority of their already limited knowledge comes from Google Searches and FIFA games. These people hardly ever watch their team play, and have no knowledge of their clubs history, culture or chants.

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

A plastic fan is a sports fan who supports a certain team just because of their glory. Plastic fans will usually have little to no knowledge of their preferred club, and will get overly defensive when you point out their lack of it. They will also never go to games or even watch them on T.V. - When you ask them why, they will probably blurt out the excuse "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE PLAYING!!!!" or "I COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO WATCH THEM!!!"
PERSON ONE - "Elena started supporting Man City after they won the league last year despite claiming that she's "Chelsea till I die"

PERSON TWO - "Well what do you expect from a plastic fan, they're all the same..."
