(this definition applies mainly to Parisians.)
arrogant, ethnocentric (to the point of cruelty), narrow minded, racist, obsessed with clothing, drink instant coffee, bring dogs in restaurants, leave dog crap on sidewalks, hypocritical, in denial about the fact that the avant guard has moved someplace else, addicted to nicotine, homophobic, and, ironically, obsessed with American culture

If you have met a true, French, Parisian, you have probably experienced that, within your first conversation, they will run down a list of the top ten reasons why they abhor Americans. Admittedly, some of their beliefs are true but are non the less stereotypes. I understand that my definition of eurotrash is stereotyping as well, but therein lies the rub: An educated American is aware that stereotyping is something to be avoided while an Educated Parisian would never admit that about his own beliefs.

A European that is a self-proclaimed post-modern intellectual and sports a self-perpetuating ego to suit. Classier-than-thou. Take them or (much preferrably) shoot them.... (twice).
"Eurotrash of a feather, flock together." says Vikki.
"Damn, these eurotrash are crashing this party! Let's make like non-eurotrash and go somewhere non-eurotrash-like. STAT!" says Michael.

Eurotrash are exclusive to wealthy states of continental Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Austria). They gained their title from back-packing on low budgets around Americanised countries displaying poor hygiene and nothing but contempt for Americanised media, politics and public services. Hence the title Eurotrash with (reference white-trash). Eurotrash can be found touring the USA, Australia and South East Asia by use of youth hostels and often hitch-hiking. To confirm that a tourist is indeed 'Eurotrash' the indevidual must be ingaugeing in weak liberal protest like complaining about Bush, the imperial system, universal health care, nuclear dumpage e.t.c. Or they will be dicussing the latest Cairns Film Festival award winner, art exhibition or possible legalisation of heroin.

A derivative of the phrase "white trash," Eurotrash refers to Europeans who have become subservient to low-end American cultural ideals. This phrase became expedient after the fall of the Berlin Wall and with the exportation of trashy American culture into Europe. Such Europeans have become more trashy than our trash, so to speak.
That Eurotrash couple knows more about American Idol and Gangsta Rap than my coworkers at Micky D's.

Used in areas with high (Eastern) European immigration by Xenophobes or racists who dislike the accent, language and culture of the usually poor European. Used more frequently again in SW London with the influx of poor unskilled Eastern Europeans from the enlargement of the EU in 2004.

A noun or an adjective describing low or middle class persons of European descent, who came to areas in the United States such as New York or Silicon Valley, made a pile of money, and then returned to Europe, loudly proclaiming America to be not a "classy" enough place in which to live.
French, Finnish, and Belgian high tech or internet executives who cashed in and pulled out before the bubble burst.

Eurotrash: (a derogatory term) European persons who travel to the USA and other parts of the world so excessively that they begin to look "trashy". They begin to lose their culture in some ways and take on the attitude and attire of one who lives out of a suitcase. 2 European persons who travel extensively and spend much time in "inter-zones" (cities, or rather a part of a city or other area that is populated by a high number of Artists, bohemians and the lunatic fringe.) The trash part enters the picture because of the bohemian lifestyle. Which entails a disheveled appearance (due to lifestyle, not a contrived effort!), old and often used clothing, etc.
We met a Eurotrash couple on the street the other day. They were French, and it was a challenge to understand their English.
We ended up agreeing to let them spend the night at our place.
In the morning we spent hours over talking over coffee and bread while the women tried on all my clothes and asked to borrow my favorite shoes.
