What is High and Low Brow Culture ?


As we all know; art, fashion and music can be seen as low brow or high brow culture, but who defines the nature of what is high or low culture aesthetics? Why should you have to ? 
As long as you enjoy your own cultured environment why should you be defined by a genre or tribe. Is it important to be identified as so ? It can be a mind-field defining oneself and fitting into such a niche.
For instance if your are a hip hop obsessive fetishist how are you defined in cultural society. Does that make you a cyber punk or Pharrell Williams ? Who is an a advent garde musician/artist. That also brings into question the definition of what can Lady Gaga can defined as or why she or Pharrell Williams have to be defined at all, but when an artist is original aren't they avant garde ? 
Bring a sense of adventure and the unexpected to the cultural world? Making our existence more interesting or in Lady Gaga defined reality creating a extended recognition to all people who love being original and a undefined aesthetic.
