passe
No longer stylish
Passé describes something no longer fashionable or current—out of style, behind the times.
The word carries a dismissive tone: Bell-bottoms are so passé.
It suggests not just age but irrelevance, something the culture has moved past.
From French, meaning "passed." Often written without the accent in casual use.
