Schlock

Schlock has been defined as goods that are not of high quality, and are cheap and inferior.  It has also been related that schlock can define something that is shoddy or trashy when relating to taste.  These things can be bad for us, or even just over used in society forcing them to become trashy media.

Camp

Camp: consciously artificial, exaggerated, vulgar, or mannered; self-parodying, especially when in dubious taste.

Camp is something that people use to make a comical reference to to something in reality. It is much like a visual parody. We use and interact with Camp everyday, even if we don't realize it. Pinterest is borderline Camp at times with their projects.

Camp:

The word camp is defined on Google as "Deliberately exaggerated and theatrical in style, typically for humorous effect." I see it as a synonym for tacky or even ridiculous.  To me the antonym of camp is plain or bland.

Camp:

After googling the word "camp" i came up with the definition: "Deliberately exaggerated and theatrical in style, typically for humorous effect."  I feel as though camp is a simple word with a more complex meaning, for it can be interpretted differently.  I find it as the synnonym of words like tacky, gaudy, and sometimes even ridiculous.  I see the word as an antonym for plain or ordinary.  I also searched "camp" images and came up with the ones shown below.

Kitsch

Kitsch is defined by Merriam-Webster as "something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of lower quality." It is often an attempt to imitate fine art without containing the meaning, quality, or design skill of it. The image below is of four portraits of famous people made with candy.

 Additionally, it can serve a purpose, but because it reminds us of something else, it's condered high quality.
