Kitsch is a form of art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art or a worthless imitation of art of recognized value.
"The contemporary definition of kitsch is considered derogatory, denoting works executed to pander to popular demand alone and purely for commercial purposes rather than works created as self-expression by an artist.The term is generally reserved for unsubstantial and gaudy works that are calculated to have popular appeal and are considered pretentious and shallow rather than genuine artistic efforts."

"Technically, Kitsch is a term that has been used to categorize art that is considered an inferior copy of an existing style. The term "kitschy" is also used more loosely in referring to any art/thing/or person that is pretentious or in bad taste, and also commercially produced items that are considered trite or crass."
