There was a term for a literary genre :Sturm und Drang" that I haven't seen for a long time.
Also and literary genre "Biedermeier". Best thing I remember about them is a number of pictures showing animals defecating. That's where Freud got some of his ideas.

I searched for "Biedermeier" and found a half dozen sites selling Biedermeier furniture. No pictures, but I guarantee it is big, heavy, unattractive except for much attention to comfort and durability.
