I think it certainly is used enough for it to be a popular parlace slang term
most speakers will be familiar with.

It helps me think of it as an approximate translation of _lame_ and how
speakers use that word in English. There might be a slight caveat in this
though, in that ダサい seems to be directed more at what is considered by the
speaker lame _fashion_ and not exactly _attitude_ per se, [as suggested by
this answer in Chiebukuro asking about the difference between ダサい and
カッコ悪い](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1199033616).
So this would include "out of fashion".

For the general meaning of "boring" it is a harder fit in my opinion. I'd
probably be using つまらない instead.
