sobiga
SOH-bee-guh
adjective
acronym: So Bad It's Good Again.
Something so unintentionally awful that it transcends ordinary badness. Thus, it becomes genuinely enjoyable.
Sobiga is the highest possible achievement in accidental awfulness.
Unlike ordinary cringe or something that's merely so bad it's good, sobiga reaches an entirely different level of absurdity.
Often found in b movie disasters, spectacular examples of accidental comedy, and run-of-the-millguilty pleasure, sobiga describes occasions when something is so bad that you can't help loving it. In time, this event or piece of media may even become a cult classic, such as the movie The Room directed by Tommy Wiseau.
Sobiga isn't simply entertaining despite being terrible. It's entertaining precisely because it's terrible.
