Definition
The quality of being cheesy; excessive fakeness, theatrical overacting, or poor taste; alternatively, the state of being cheese-like.
Etymology
From 'cheesy' + noun-forming suffix '-ness'. The slang meaning likely emerged in early 1900s entertainment criticism.
Kelly Says
Every generation complains about cheesiness in entertainment—1970s disco was 'cheesy,' then '80s hairbands, then '90s boy bands. It's really just another way to say 'out of style,' but 'cheesy' sounds funnier!
