Continental European entertainment that is of low quality, or is lowbrow.
Watching an old episode of Eurotrash, & there's currently a feature about purses/bags being made out of kangaroos' scrotums, with the occupational hazard of exploding bollocks. They don't make TV like that anymore.
Imperium is better but than Eurotrash but still not entirely satisfying (whereas Eurotrash isn't satisfying at all).

"Eurotrash" means: Continental European entertainment that is of low quality, or is lowbrow.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
