ghetto = usually negative.

http://www.urbandictionary.com...hp?term=ghetto&r=f

1. (n.) an impoverished, neglected, or otherwise disadvantaged residential area of a city, usually troubled by a disproportionately large amount of crime
2. (adj.) urban; of or relating to (inner) city life
3. (adj.) poor; of or relating to the poor life
4. (adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike

Something status quo or fashionable in an impoverished and isolated community.

Ghetto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The name ghetto refers to an area where people from a given ethnic background or united in a given culture or religion live as a group, voluntarily or involuntarily, in milder or stricter seclusion. The word historically referred to restricted housing zones for Jews; however, it now commonly labels any poverty-stricken urban area.

It doesn't list ghetto as an adjective like the OP described. Urbandictionary is what he wants, as loki pointed out.

"ghetto" is a term that refers to an area which is not up to par with the majority's (middle-class) standards. cheap housing, crime, slang talk, etc.....these usually are the first things that come to mind when someone mentions "ghetto". it's not always derogatory either. some people like to be the ghettoist! i have been living in a city for 11 years, and have seen/done much. ghetto can be either what you are, or where you are.
