blandburb

A suburban location that is characterized visually by extreme blandness that causes its residents to feel bored and depressed, and behave in uninteresting ways.

Virtually every suburban sprawl development with homes designed to attract a narrow range of people, in ethnic, social and economic terms, is a blandburb.

Blandeur

Antonym of grandeur. The quality of something ordinary and uninspired hyped up as if it were unique and splendid.

The blandeur of Chevrolet's ad campaign for new subcompact was impressive for a car nobody wanted.
