How to use "Lowbrow" in context?
In the modern world, there is a growing trend known as "lowbrow." What does this mean, and where did the term come from? Lowbrow art is typically characterized by its crude and sometimes whimsical nature. It is art that is unabashedly unpolished, and often aimed at a wide audience. This is in stark contrast to highbrow art, which is often considered to be more refined and cerebral. Lowbrow art often relies on its shock value to capture the public's attention, and is often reminiscent of the B-movies that Hollywood used to produce in the past.
