High culture according to some has durability i.e. it lasts for a long period of time for example: Beethoven, Mona Lisa, Mozart and Leonardo De Vinci. More select audiences such as opera, ballet, proms and art galleries are considered to have high value.
There are many ideas/icons of high culture Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and William Wordsworth which all use universal themes and ideas eg. Jealousy….. Popular cultures include Tabloids, Soap Operas, Reality TV, KFC, MTV appeal more to the senses of people. A lot of these are mass produced mainly for cheapness which makes it appeal able for the creators but also catches the target audience and get them watching each episode, or buy the product this is so that they can keep making more of the same ideas and it gets cheaper.
Cross over culture is a mixture of high culture and popular culture. It keeps alive the high culture and enriches popular culture. E.g. at a football match. A further example was classic music to sell products and used to introduce TV programmes e.g. Inspector Morse
Popular culture, or pop culture is the vernacular (people's) that prevails in a modern society.

But popular culture cannot be described as just the aggregate product of those industries; instead, it is the result of a continuing interaction between those industries and the people of the society who consume their products.
Although critics .sometimes argue that pop culture is very superficial, due to these "manufactured" and fashions; often times the hype associated with a pop culture subject is actually the leading eduge of what eventually evolves into a part of a society's every day culture or (ie. television, internet).
has made an impact on in huge ways. The concept of the television itself, and the lifestyle changes it caused as its popularity soared into the mainstream in the indicate that the T.V. stands on its own as one of the biggest mediums of pop culture influence.
So overall I think what the critics are saying is 100% right about culture although it is underestimated, being standardised to a certain standard which people expect.
