wackness

State of ridiculousness

Wackness is hip-hop slang for the quality of being wack—that is, bad, lame, or generally unimpressive.

It describes something that falls short of coolness or authenticity: The wackness of that beat is undeniable.

The term gained wider recognition from the 2008 film of the same name, but remains rooted in Black American vernacular where it serves as the opposite of dopeness or freshness.
