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

Prestige - someone who thinks they are above everyone else social class and are too good for everyone. Usually used to describe girls when they act above their actual social status trying to act cool but in reality are the complete contrast and outcast of the society. Usually used in schools.
Usually can be ranked by the MW2 Prestige levels the higher the more prestigious therefore more cocky and jarring

She is so prestige.
She is prestige she would never go out with me.
She is acting so prestige but I am prestige 7. (therefore I am way out of her league.)

When you end your relationship with your current girlfriend to go after another girl who gives you the thrill of the chase. In reference to call of duty: you have the "trophy", but being at such a high level, you want more and you end up prestiging and starting at level 1 again.
"Yo man what happened to _____?"
"Who? ooooooo that jawn"
"I got really bored with it, so i decided what the hell it's time for me to Prestige."

When you reach level 55 (at life) you got to the main menu, press on the barracks button, a new screen will pop up. There will be a group of buttons, you press the one on the bottom that reads "PRESTIGE". You will get another screen which gives you only 2 options, "OK" or "CANCEL", also on this page is a paragraph leading you away from pressing the "OK" button, if you do perhaps press "OK" you will get another screen, this screen gives you the same 2 options, it also leads you away from pressing "OK" again, this time scaring you with sentences like "You cannot go back!" If you still decide to proceed, and press "OK", you will then hear a gun shot. You think nothing has happened. You return to the menu and see that something isn't the same as it was before. Your level 55 is now 1!!!! You are horrified at first thinking you have wasted days of playing time (remembering this is still life we are talking about) for absolutely nothing. You want to kill yourself. But wait, you realize something else has changed, you have a snazzy new symbol beside your name. Your prestige has increased! Now everyone will be jealous and worship you forever.
Dude 1:Dude I just got my prestige up!
Dude 2:Why? Is there any point at all in doing that?
Dude 2:That's what you WOULD say, people like you getting so jealous of me!
