"Eurotrash" is a term for certain Europeans, particularly those perceived to be socialites, stylish and affluent.
There have been discussions in various forums to clarify its intent, with a majority view that the original meaning was not intended to imply impoverished or trashy Europeans, or be the European equivalent of "white trash".
[1][2] Among the early printed uses of the term was in the early 1980s, when Taki Theodoracopulos, a wealthy Greek living in New York City, wrote a newspaper column titled "Eurotrash" in The East Side Express.
[3] The term was also used into the 1990s, with American band Cracker releasing a single called "Euro-Trash Girl".
The song's narrator describes a dissolute life, drifting across Europe in pursuit of an "angel in black," the titular Euro-trash girl.
