And that's sort of how I feel about "pop culture" (and I use that definition loosly). I don't get it without studying to try and figure out why it is entertaining, thoughtful, useful, funny, etc....... and then I find it just doesn't hold my attention or compell me in any way - for the most part. But, I like the challenge of odd stuff that makes me work.
And then sometimes I like what is considered.
But, I don't have a general highbrow/lowbrow definition in my vocabulary of understanding. I like what I like and have a decent background of experience to build upon so it is fun for me to streach. Although, I get stuck in the snob category quite a bit for what I respond to. Oh well......
