kitsch


as an art movement, lifestyle, or literature and film genre, kitsch is pleasingly distasteful. it’s melodramatic, overdone, gaudy and tacky or sentimental and folksy. it’s so bad that it’s cool. your cat might attack it, but it’s hot.
and, no, martha stewart and jerry springer are not bad enough to be kitsch. at all. paris and nicole though…

sentimentally charming, tacky and fun all rolled up in one. one catch with kitch is that you’re never quite sure if it’s supposed to be serious or not. it’s that uncertainty that is amusing.

quite simply, kitsch is the junk sold on the street to american tourists at or near famous landmarks. elements of proper kitsch include the overuse of bright paints and shiny metals, “clever” american slang incorporated into the design, and workmanship quality of the lowest order.
tiny models of the eiffel tower garrishly coated in gold colored paint, wooden beer steins with a forest scene carved into the outside, disgusting parts of local wildlife stuffed and mounted to display for your viewing pleasure. kitsch collections are universally recognized as one of the signs of the apocalypse.
something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality.
keychains are a fitting example of kitsch… anything tacky and or garish. from inflatable furniture to lava lamps to foam covered mobile phones.
