Guilty pleasure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Guilty pleasure (disambiguation).
A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. The "guilt" involved is sometimes simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, such as campy styles of entertainment. Fashion, video games, music,[1] films,[2] and junk food can be examples of guilty pleasures.[3]
