German term or phrase: Schnulze
Bonjour,

J'ai un petit problèm pour cette phrase:

Was heute gefällt, ist morgen veraltet, was gestern Emotionen hervorrief, gilt heute als Schnulze, und was heute klingt wie ein Dieselmotor, ist der Beat von morgen.

Je n'arrive pas à trouver le mot adéquat en français pour Schulze... C'est normalement une chanson qui fait pleurer... Je pensais mettre "vieux jeu", mais ça ne traduit pas bien cette idée je pense, c'est plus pour dire "démodé", mais je ne pense pas que ce soit le cas ici... J'ai également pensé à gnangnan, mais je ne suis pas trop sûre...
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
Merci d'avance!
Eurika

vieille rengaine sentimentale


Explanation:
un peu long peut-être ; mais je pense qu'il y a la notion de "sentimental" dans Schnulze.
