I can't decide whether this is better or worse than staging operas as gay shit, as is the common trend. One advantage (only one, really) is that it is more alienating to the plebs

the class which defines and maintains high culture doesn't' exist anymore.
Believe it or not, the construction only existed for a brief amount of time in history.

so you probably want there to be something, art, music, literature, or otherwise, that you can consume, and feel superior to the plebs, THOSE people, THEM, correct? you might want the plebs to be at least somewhat vaguely aware of what this "high culture" content is, although not well-versed in the nuances of such content (because how could they understand it anyway? they're fucking plebs lmao) and when they see you consuming this "high culture" content, you want them to recognize you as the true elite cosmopolitan that you are, and you want to feel like some elite, correct? what if you are the pleb? what if high culture exists only in the underground of the underground that is the modern ruling class - those whose names you'll never hear and faces you'll never recognize? and you will never be a part of it. pleb.
