Vulgarity is part of low culture.
And low culture can best be understood in relation to high culture.
High culture sets us free while low culture diminishes us.
Low culture is extremely profitable. So it is no surprise it is extremely popular.
And if you want to be popular, if you want to belong, you adopt the manners and mores of low culture.
So low culture is piped at us from every direction - from television, from the pop music industry, from the pornography industry, from the drug industry and from youth culture.
Low culture is big business.
But at its heart is a hatred of high culture.
At its heart low culture harbours a deep ressentiment towards high culture, and so takes every opportunity to birsmirch it.
The constant and never ending reference to, "Ass", here, and now a whole thread devoted to, "Ass", demonstrate the passion to dirty high culture.
Low culture knows it is dirty, it even thinks sexuality is dirty, so it is on a compulsive and never ending quest to make high culture as dirty as itself.
And how successful it has been.
Did you read the thread at all or did you want to tell everyone how the entire breadth of human culture throughout history can be simplified to "low" and "high" culture and works like a bad Palahniuk interpretation?
