why is cliche negative?

Is there really something wrong with being cliche?

A cliché, or cliche, is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work that has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, even to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel. 

It always sounds like this is used in a negative connotation. Maybe it's because when things are used over and over again, they become annoying? 

I think it can be a good thing to use something over again, or revisit something old, because it can carry on a unique thought or thing in a new way. 

For instance, my husband and I used red roses in our wedding.. and at that time, they seemed cliche', because they are used so often and it's not "original". But that didn't mean it was a bad thing. Just means we really liked the idea of them and decided to continue with something traditional. 

"Just because a phrase is overused doesn't mean it's a cliche'. and because a phrase is a cliche' doesn't mean it isn't true. A cliche' conveys an idea or message but loses its point through over-usage." 


Ahhhh
