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

it's long Long Beach California...
everybody's talking about Snoop - but Sublime was well ahead of him, example lyrics from 'Doin' Time"
Summertime and the living's easy
And Bradley's on the microphone w/ ras m.g.
All the people in the dance will agree
That we are well qualified to represent the LBC

long beach california. lbc has nothing to do with compton, it's all about long beach pride. have you ever heard anyone in c-town proudly refer to the lbc as their home? and even if it originally meant long beach crip, that meaning has since morphed to mean "long beach, california" as most people now abbreviate their hometown to the letters LBC.
I'm from the LBC.

Long Beach, California. From the context in which "LBC" is popularly used (and from simple common sense), it is clear that the acronym does NOT refer to "Long Beach Crips", "Long Beach/Compton", or "Long Beach City".

"With so much drama in the LBC..."
Being a man of letters, Snoop was involved in a little-known debate with the LBC's board of trustees over the misspelling of "Dog" in his pseudonym in 2000. The LBC felt that it led admiring fans to accept poor English, but upon Snoop's election to the LBC board in 2001, the subject has been dropped, especially in light of Snoop's 2004 publication, "It's an ABC Thang: The use of variant language as a viable alternative in urban expression", available from the Berkley Press.
