[ SLANG ][ MEME_CULTURE ][ NOUN ]
The periodic moment when a platform's whole meme cycle seems to reset at once — a wave of old references get deliberately declared dead and abandoned together, clearing space for the next batch.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Feels like we just hit the great meme reset, half my group chat's inside jokes died in the same week."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named by meme historians and casual observers noticing that meme death doesn't happen gradually one at a time, it happens in synchronized waves where a community collectively agrees 'we're done with all of that now.'
