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 word, or exclamation, that can be difficult to define due to its context. The word can be used as a greeting when uttered quietly, usually accompanied by a nod or salutation. It can also have an expressive function, as an expression of anger or frustration. Used in this context, it functions as an abstract noun, as one may be in a state of 'wah'.
The most common usage of 'waah', however, is when a group of friends are driving along a high street and shout 'WAAH' at individuals or groups of people. This form of 'waah' serves no particular semantic meaning or purpose, other than scaring the public or exposing the nation to the 'waah' phenomenon.
