Where does the phrase 「ノリが悪い」 come from and what is the meaning?


What is this phrase 「ノリが悪い」? I've seen it in a few places, but I haven't been
able to find it in a dictionary yet. I had first thought it meant that "the
seaweed was bad".

What is the meaning of this phrase and where does it come from?




I have two phrases with this word:

> ノリが悪い人| someone who never joins in
>
> この曲はノリがいい| this song has a good beat

They come from 総まとめ 語彙 N2.

As for origin, I think it might come from expressions close to: 相談に乗る or
リズムに乗って踊る (dance to the music)* which have been adopted in similar fashion to
arrive at ウケがいい：

> 若者に受ける映画｜that movie that is very popular among young people =>
>
> ギャグがウケなかった｜the joke did not go down very well =>
>
> ウケがいい｜very popular

(From: 総まとめ 語彙 N1)

But somebody else may have a more firm insight

*Similar expressions I find easy to remember are:

>
> 経済が回復軌道に乗る| "The economy will gets back on recovery track" (lit: back into
> orbit)
