wack

adj,'publicly decreed to be not very good by those of taste and distinction. That which makes an effort to achieve the approbation of the cultural vanguard but fails due to a lack of authenticity'

The word is of uncertain etymology. It first emerged from the highly non-standard forms of ebonics used by New York rappers in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
