kitsch

n. (名詞 noun)

          1.    庸俗作品


The Columbia Guide to Standard American English

kitsch (n.), kitschy (adj.) 
   
The noun, meaning“cheap, tawdry, tasteless things, pretentious, junky, but popular,”and the adjective, meaning“of shoddy, pretentious character or quality,”are both Standard; they apply particularly to furniture, architecture, and other designs that unjustifiably pretend to artistic merit. 

In German and Yiddish, kitsch means“trash,”especially“gaudy trash.”American English probably borrowed the word from Yiddish rather than German. See YIDDISH WORDS IN AMERICAN ENGLISH.

          While the very idea reeks of kitsch, the end product is surprisingly poignant 
          and agreeable. Even the Thin White Duke himself seems taken with the idea, 
          as he states in Aquatic's liner notes that 

                "Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs acoustically in Portuguese I 
                would never had heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued 
                them with."
