Kitschy Kitschy Koo

Kitsch is difficult to define, not because the word is difficult to understand, but because there is not one common definition.  Some say it is synonymous to schlock.  Others say camp.  From what I gathered, kitsch is the middleground between the two.  Kitsch seems to be anything that is functional while attempting at good taste, oftentimes failing.  Another definition seemed to define kitsch as something that was once relevant and will be relevant again in the future because trends cycle as a result of nostalgia.  Maybe the definition of kitsch is within the combination of both definitions.
