意味

俗（庶民的）／俗っぽい、下品な

A nuanced word with both neutral and pejorative registers. As a neutral descriptor, 俗 simply means 'folk' or 'popular' (俗文化, 民俗). As a negative aesthetic judgement, it means 'vulgar,' 'tacky,' or 'lacking sophistication.' Context determines which sense applies. Common in literary criticism, cultural commentary, and everyday conversation about taste.
