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 person who can't quite qualify as a hipster, although strives to; and still holds bogan qualities despite strong efforts to repress such attributes.

(Australia east coast specific) A person that strictly buys fair trade organic coffee, attends 'politics in the pub', studies social science, wears jeans and shoes bought at second hand shops, and then drives their SS ute to a rugby league match and opts for cheaper beers such as VB or Tooheys New.

They attend blue-grass and jazz concerts for the image but would probably prefer to be listening to ACDC polishing their ute at home.

They like the image of appearing environmentally green in social situations, but work down a coal mine and boast about the money it pays with close friends.
