Popular culture:

  • Commonly liked by many people
  • An inferior? form of true culture
  • Culture produced by the people for the people.

The working class deciding what culture is, is a threat to the upper classes.

Matthew Arnold was trying to defend and redefine culture against the working class.

Frankfurt School
