1.

A term used to describe annoying, and often irritating subject matter, which includes but is not limited to: music, fashion, popular culture, and literature. All of which generally never had any quality in the first place, yet for some odd reason keeps coming back long after it should have been forgotten. Don't be fooled by the terms "What's hot", "Timeless Classic", or "Greatest Hits".

2.

A term of disdain used in a holiday or gift giving environment for terrible, unimaginative, and impractical items, stretching back for an undisclosed number of years, that no one wanted when they were new, much less now.
"Oh man, I can't get that song out of my head. It keeps haunting me like the ghost of shit-mas past!"
