What exactly does "tacky" mean here? Not sure how to translate it.

"showing poor taste and quality.
"even in her faintly tacky costumes, she won our hearts"
synonyms: tawdry, tasteless, kitsch, kitschy, vulgar, crude, garish, gaudy, showy, trashy, cheesy, cheap, common, second-rate

It's really subjective. Like these bikes: https://68.media.tumblr.com/0a1...lzseo1_500.jpg (Tackiness done just right! These bikes are awesome! )

Or this trophy: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/...b7f85e867d.jpg (Trophy for Ugly Sweater contest. I hope its tacky enough.)

Thanks. Judging from those pictures, “kitschig“ should be a good match. ☺
