RFV-sense "A controversial style of modern opera focusing on sexuality and the sociopolitical." The linked-to WP article has been deleted/redirected, and google books:Eurotrash opera turns up hits for the other two senses, but not AFAICT this. - -sche (discuss) 23:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- The search string eurotrash regietheater seems to get what you need. w:Regietheater is where the Wikipedia link redirects to. But note that the contributers to this forum thread argue that Eurotrash and Regietheater are not synonyms and Eurotrash cannot even be defined simply as bad Regietheater.

- I had tried google books:Regietheater Eurotrash, actually. IMO all the hits there use sense 1 of Eurotrash (that is, they're dismissing Regietheater as low-quality or low-brow entertainment), not a separate operatic sense. - -sche (discuss) 00:45, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Sense: "shallow, fashion-focused, sometimes sexually promiscuous European or admirer of Eurotrash <--sense 1--> entertainment. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:53, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
I see two issues here:
- What does the conjunction "or" signify? I suspect it is two senses lumped into one bullet: (a) <blabla this stupid> European and (b) admirer of Eurotrash.
- "shallow, fashion-focused, sometimes sexually promiscuous" - who calls these people thusly? Indians? Is this list of qualifiers correct? I'd like to see usage examples for each of them or a ref to a dictionary. Wikipedia w:Eurotrash (term) gives a different definition, citing Webster (I have no access to verify).

- Isn't it just a slur on some grouping of youngish Continental Europeans? Perhaps we should look to other slurs to find more defensible wording. There are a few definitions at “Eurotrash”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.. DCDuring TALK 03:27, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
