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 vaguely one-dimensional character in a TV show, book, movie, etc. who appears suddenly and by all rules of plot cliches should die but doesn't, or is the only character to survive after all the main characters are dead. See anticlimactic.
When Helen killed Cutter, Captain Becker survived for no reason, proving his status as a pinkshirt.
When Harry killed Voldemort, he inherently turned all the remaining Death Eaters into pinkshirts.
Let's face it. Eight of the nine Ringwraiths are pinkshirts.

A shirt worn by men who are aiming to "get some" because girls think it looks good. This is because pink shirts are completely feminine, therefore, homesexual. Pink shirts are supposedly manly or so the wearers say, but this is entirely false. In fact, the chances of a young male becoming gay after wearing a pink shirt significantly raise by 37.4%.

Shirts collectively worn by students in Nova Scotia who believe that bullying and violence will not be tolerated in their society and subsequently created an awareness around the world that simply; peace is achieveable through will, courage and love.
No more red shirts. Canada's youth will not support violence. Two grade twelve students show that peace is what all people want and pink shirts will prove they are right. Mr. Harper, Mr. Bush, Mr. Bin Laden, all who are wrong about war and violence, put on your Pink Shirts!
