Hollywood Homely is about when a character called ugly or unattractive doesn't look like that to the audience because genuinely unattractive-looking actors/actresses are uncommon.
Generic Cuteness is about the character designs in animation which tend to be cutesy/attractive by default.

Informed Deformity also fits in there somewhere.
I agree with Septimus' explanation of what the difference should be, but the articles look like they could use some cleanup to make the difference clearer.

It means its harder to draw an average face than a cute one, since symmetry and other technical skills are inherently cute.
I'm wondering, what's the difference between Hollywood Homely and Generic Cuteness, actually? Both tropes seem to be defined as "character is said to be plain or even ugly, but isn't visibly less attractive than the other characters".
