Kitsch is most commonly used to describe art that's considered overly sentimental, pretentious, or banal. It's used to dismiss such art as being in bad taste, of poor quality, or simply for having too much mass appeal.

Kitsch is also used to describe art featuring cultural objects that date from the 1950-70s, or mundane, everyday subjects that are retro in style.
