I've observed that recently people try and separate the high brow (fancy art, fancy books, classical music) from the low brow (booktok, reality TV, pop music,) etc. This separation is often sexist as it claims that the feminine belongs in low brow. (After all, who do you unconsciously associate with pop music? (Teenage girls listening to Taylor Swift?))

In reality, some of the most feminine celebrities are intellectuals. A famous example is Marylin Monroe who read everyone from James Joyce to Tolstoy.

The nobrow is the merging of the two brows. It's like when Superman references Nietzsche. That's nobrow.

An example today is Paris Hilton here and Dua Lipa both engaging in reclusive novelist and basically, the Emperor of Hipster Books, Thomas Pynchon. So I guess this is just an appreciation post. Thank you people who uphold the nobrow.

"What goes around may come around, but it never ends up exactly the same place, you ever notice? Like a record on a turntable, all it takes is one groove's difference and the universe can be on into a whole 'nother song."
