Es una imagen dulce pero no natural, artifical. Lo he visto quico, como cuando ves una película de vídeo de hace 10 años

Hemos percibida alegría pero más quica, muy puesta, melancólica

agree  Richard Boulter: The formal 'dated' doesn't seem to fit the context here as well as the slangy 'hackneyed/corny', depending on whether the target text is for a British or an American audience.

Reference information:
Wibblet,

I found this information on the wordreference forum explaining the meaning of quico. It means vintage or old, but not in a positive way.
Hope you find it useful.

Liz
