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 stringed instrument invented during the Medieval period in which sound is produced by turning a crank connected to a rosined wheel that excites the strings, much like a violin bow. Different notes are achieved by pressing in keys to which tiny metal or wood pieces called tangents are attached that touch the melody string (or strings) and change their sounding length. These instruments usually have one or more drone strings in addition to the melody string(s) whose pitch is fixed. Often, a hurdy gurdy will possess a buzzing bridge, also known as a "dog", which supplies a rhythmic buzz every time the player sharply jerks the crank. The instrument is held on the lap with the right hand cranking the wheel and the other pressing the keys (in right-handed instruments). The hurdy gurdy sounds similar to bagpipes, but is very different in the way it produces sound. The hurdy gurdy was popular in France, among many other places in Western and Eastern Europe, and though at various points it was associated with the peasantry, it was a favorite instrument of the aristocracy in the 18th century.
