Frisbee – adj – a term used to describe something that is shallow, lacking any intellectual or creative merit, yet which is enjoyed without guilt.
Ex: The Killers’ first album was total frisbee music. Their latest album is just a bad rip-off of Wham! and Tears for Fears.
The term is derived from two sources. The first is a comment on the relative depth of a frisbee, or relative lack thereof. Thus, any work described as “frisbee” is noted as having a lack of depth. The second is the game of Frisbee – it is fun to play every once in a while, but play too often and you run the risk of turning into, well, the people in the video below. Obviously, things described as frisbee are best enjoyed in moderation.
