I see. Yes, there is a slang sense it which "bogus" can indicate
something "displeasing, of poor quality, or 'uncool'".

But in general it means fake, not genuine. (Google "bogus definition".)
not genuine or true; fake
counterfeit or fake; not genuine
not real or genuine: fake or false
not genuine; counterfeit; spurious; sham
fraudulent, pseudo, fake, phony
spurious or counterfeit; not genuine
...
Origin:
1825-30, Americanism; originally an apparatus for coining false money;
perhaps akin to bogy
Word Origin & History - bogus
"counterfeit money," 1839, Amer.Eng., apparently from a slang word
applied in Ohio in 1827 to a counterfeiter's apparatus. Some trace
this to tantrabobus, a late 18c. colloquial Vermont word for any
odd-looking object, which may be connected to tantarabobs, recorded
as a Devonshire name for the devil.
