The Electric City

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 largest city in Northeastern Pennsylvania, with a population of 76,415 recorded during the 2000 Census. Scranton was a boomtown in the late 1800s/early 1900s with the dawn of the coal and iron industries. Scranton fell on hard times after World War II after demand for coal dropped sharply, and has been losing population at a steady rate ever since. Nowadays, Scranton is filled with many nice, hardworking people. It is also home to numerous drug dealers from Philadelphia and New York, who come to Scranton because they can't make it in the big cities. Scranton is also filled with an amazing amount of assholes who do nothing but complain about how much Scranton sucks and there is nothing to do here. Local officials often tout Scranton for its interstates providing easy access to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C., everywhere. Perhaps the negative assholes should hop on the highway and fuck off.

A place that is still far enough from Philly and NY and also large enough to have its own home-grown customs, many of them charming and an equal many maddening. Scranton is the largest of 40 or so unique towns in Northeastern PA where each town is like one of the city states that existed before unification of Italy, Germany, or Greece.

scranton is a smaller city with nothing to do except when you create your own fun like lighting yourself on fire or doing drugs. its a place to underage drink and play pool and a place where the potholes are as big as our ppl..we have coal and trains...and thats scranton

This is the city that once was great, then sucked,and is now trying to not suck even though it is an extremely difficult task. Scranton is beginning to see changes in diversity, but not changes in lifestyle. The average Scranton lifestyle includes consuming 4 plus quarts of Yuengling, eating food that leg drops your arteries, and smoking pot to forget that your are in Scranton, which has nothing to do for fun besides drivining around. The kids at the University suck ass. If they aren't good natured townies, they are stuck up rich pricks from New York, Long Island, and Jersey. God I hate being home unless I have access to a car, which is Scranton's strongest feature: good location. Not too far from NYC of Philly, Scranton also has tons of quickly accesible roads that have little to no police force. Also the locals are fairly easy to take advantage of.
