good-bad
Moral spectrum endpoints
Good-bad describes something that's bad in a way that makes it enjoyable—a movie so poorly made it becomes entertaining, a song so cheesy it's catchy.
The term acknowledges that quality and enjoyment don't always align: It's a good-bad film, perfect for late-night viewing.
