What is the distinction between high culture, popular culture and low culture?

I think culture is by definition high; it cannot truly be culture if it is not high. Presumably there is no obstacle to "popular culture" being at the same time "high culture." But a better name for "low culture" would be "stunted culture" would it not?

Thank you for the clarification, Sydney. BBC Radio 3 is broadcasting live at Southbank Centre, which I thought might be an example of high culture broadcast to the masses, hence the question, but upon reflection, I am ill at ease with such hierarchies in culture. Southbank Centre - BBC Radio 3 live at Southbank CentrePerhaps I shall pop along! There is a sense, I suspect, in which culture is bottom-up whereas civilisation is top-down, so stunted low culture can ultimately transform itself into high culture. I suppose that you can look at a take-away meal as formulaic and low culture, whereas haute cuisine is, by definition, high culture. The latter is not, by definition, any better than the former, although you would probably expect to pay a lot more for it. Soap opera and virtual reality television shows tend to be popular culture?
