"for me it its more than just his use of the notion mass culture, it his
tendency to try and put 'art' above a market economy and argue as if a
high/low split is viable ( or indeed a 'given')."

i think his position is more nuanced than that, for example:

"the advanced product [music] has renounced consumption. the rest of serious
music is delivered over to consumption for the price of its wages. it
succombs to commodity listening. the differences in the reception of
official "classical" music and light music no longer have any real
significance. they are only still manipulated for reasons of marketability."
On the fetish character in music and the regression of listening, in "the
culture industry", p 35
