We talk a lot about cultural resets these days — moments that serve as a pivot point for online discourse. But in recent years we’ve had no cultural reset as dramatic as the one provided by ‘WAP’, the new single from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.

Truly ‘WAP’ has proved to be the gift that keeps on giving.
