Täcommmuns

Täcommmuns is a term that emerged in online communities, particularly within certain fandoms and niche internet subcultures. It is generally understood as a portmanteau of "tacky" and "communist," though its precise meaning and usage can vary significantly depending on the context and the group using it. The term is often employed in a jocular or ironic manner to describe things that are perceived as having an overabundance of certain aesthetic qualities, often those associated with a perceived kitsch or gaudy style, while simultaneously referencing communist imagery or ideology in a lighthearted, non-serious way.

The application of Täcommmuns is rarely literal. Instead, it serves as a shorthand for a particular online aesthetic or sensibility. For example, an object or piece of art might be labeled Täcommmuns if it features bright, clashing colors, a surplus of decorative elements, and perhaps incorporates symbols or color palettes reminiscent of socialist propaganda. It can also be used to describe online content that is intentionally over-the-top or excessively enthusiastic, often with a self-aware or ironic tone. The term is typically used among those familiar with the subculture or community where it originated, and its meaning may not be readily apparent to outsiders. Its usage is almost exclusively informal and exists within the realm of internet slang.
