The opposite behavior of 98% of the population below age 21.

Sophistication is a mix of knowing when a joke's over, caring somewhat about the consequences of your actions, talking about something of reasonable importance, having a good dose of common sense, not letting your immediate reactions control your life, knowing how much information is TOO much information, and not wearing wearing your jeans lower than your underwear.

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 definition of sophisticated is actually knowing your head from your buttocks. It does not require having a brain, for jellyfish seem to get along just right with a minimal amount of sophisticatiton. Even the tiniest rock uses somewhat of an amount of sophistication just to sit quietly (unless thrown or something of the sort) throughout the day.

An evening out in Tunbridge Wells, beginning with a comfortable meal folowed by a few quiet drinks and genteel mocking of the locals

To use large vocabulary and intellectual knowledge and phrases. For one to be sophisticated one must always refer to one as one individual who is capable of comprehending and translating different intellectual knowledge and terminology. The most important thing into being a sophisticated human of mankind is to always perform the act of wise hand gestures. This will show the people "I know what I'm talking about". Also, wear neutral and sometimes rather boring colors to come across to people that you are on of sophisticated intelligence and not to be messed with... by turtles.

An exercise in sophistry that if you don't understand this (whatever) at least as well as I'm pretending to, then you're obviously a moron!
