Camp is an aesthetic in which something has appeal because of its bad taste or ironic value. According to Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language camp is "banality, artifice, mediocrity, or ostentation so extreme as to have perversely sophisticated appeal."
A part of the anti-academic defense of popular culture in the 1960s, camp came to popularity in the 1980s with the widespread adoption of Postmodern views on art and culture.
