CLICHE
CLICHÉ
Cliché is a French word. This word is synonymous with some English words such as banality, commonality, plainness, or even dullness or boredom. It is no a good complement if something is considered a cliché.
Apart from these “clichéd” definitions of the word cliché, cliché is also an implicit representation of negative gaze, dislike, or hatred cast on it.
It is something people try to avoid, if possible. A position of a cliché is in the opposite side of what determined “a work of art”.
However, once upon a time, cliché was surely considered to be a work of art. Something that everyone wanted to produce like one. Cliché was once adored. Suddenly, the admiration for the cliché had come to the saturation point. Cliché became banality, commonality, plainness, or even dullness or boredom as mentioned above. Avoiding clichés took the throne of a work of art. But the throne wouldn’t last so long.
