  1. Yesterday my Western Art #Music class had a lovely discussion about #highbrow #middlebrow and #lowbrow culture. They decided that the categories were artifacts of a different culture; that technologies of access nowadays render that structure obsolete. That the 20th century had backwards and Eurocentric notions of privilege and “the intellectual” in music, and that “niche” was a fairer category than “highbrow”

    The class remained divided on whether Taylor Swift could be considered highbrow :-)
