Eurotrash (term)


"Eurotrash" is a derogatory term used across Europe and in North America for certain Europeans, particularly those perceived to be arrogant, lower-class, and expatriates in the United States.

Among the early printed uses of the term was in the early 1980s, when Taki Theodoracopulos, a wealthy Greek living in New York City, wrote a newspaper column entitled "Eurotrash" in The East Side Express. The term was also used into the 1990s, with American band Cracker releasing a single called "Euro-Trash Girl". The song's narrator describes a dissolute life, drifting across Europe in pursuit of an "angel in black," the titular Euro-trash girl.
