A horizontal line used to separate clauses within a sentence or to indicate the interruption of a sentence. Not to be confused with hyphens. Hyphens should not be used to separate clauses or interrupt sentences, and em-dashes should not be used to join related words within a clause.

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

A rare type of dash rarely seen outside of Microsft Word. It is generated by a secret key-combination. In many cases em dashes can be seamlessly connected to make a line (Urban Dictionary is one exception).
