This term is often used to describe items that evoke a sense of nostalgia or sentimentality but may lack genuine artistic value. When something is described as kitschier, it suggests that it embodies an even greater level of superficiality or cheesiness than something that is merely considered kitsch.

Etymology

The term 'kitsch' originated in Germany in the 18th century, deriving from the word 'kitschig,' which means something that is cheap or lowbrow in art. It originally referred to art that was mass-produced and aimed at a lower class of clientele, often characterized by lack of genuine taste or quality. Over the decades, especially during the mid-20th century, kitsch found its way into popular culture, serving as both a critique of and a celebration of certain aesthetics. As the concept evolved, the comparative form 'kitschier' emerged to describe a greater degree of this cheap or exaggerated style, reflecting the evolving tastes and sensibilities of different eras. In contemporary contexts, kitsch now often denotes items or art forms that, despite their perceived lack of value, evoke fond memories or collective nostalgia, indicating a more complex relationship with kitschier aesthetics.
