splashy
Loud and flashy
Splashy describes something that makes a splash—either literally or figuratively.
Water can be splashy, but more often the word applies to things designed to attract attention: a splashy headline, a splashy debut, a splashy ad campaign.
The connotation suggests showiness, sometimes with a hint that substance may not match the spectacle.
