1. 1

    Lowbrow is a judging word for books, films, newspapers, and other entertainment that is easy to follow and does not deal with serious ideas about art or culture. A lowbrow magazine is light and popular; a lowbrow comedy goes for easy laughs. People who use the word usually look down on that kind of thing — they are saying it is not 'high' culture. It is informal, a bit snobbish, and more American in feel. You can also call a person a lowbrow, meaning they do not care for 'serious' art, though that use is even sharper. Though actually, what counts as lowbrow changes with the speaker: one person's lowbrow TV is another person's harmless fun, and the word tells you as much about the speaker's pride as about the show.

組成A compound of low + brow (the forehead). An American word from about 1902. It comes from an old idea, no longer believed, called phrenology: that a person with a lower brow-line was less intelligent and less refined. The word kept the insult and dropped the science.
