Andy Warhol's Bad

Bad is a concept in ethics used to describe undesirable circumstances or events.

Though bad often is used to imply moral turpitude of a person, the term more specifically refers to an unfortunate circumstance. Likewise, bad is often used as a synonym for evil, but can also refer to something flawed or unusable.

In Nietzsche

Good and Bad

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche made much of a distinction he drew in German between the böse, ("evil"), which he was prepared to admire, and the schlecht ("bad"), which he disdained; in Nietzsche's thought, evil was powerful, menacing, and dangerous; bad was weak and ineffective.

In African-American vernacular English

In African-American vernacular English, and varieties of American English that have been influenced by it, bad or badass are frequently used as compliments, an example of rhetorical irony.

You is [sic] bad, man!
Also Bek is "bad" at Madden.

In this sense bad is a synonym for fantastic and it is used in the same context aswicked in British vernacular and American vernacular.
