With very few exceptions (in fact, I can only think of some
Walter Benjamin off the top of my head, and I'm not convinced
his "Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" is nearly the
endorsement of the death of aura that some make it out to
be), the Frankfurt School despised just about anything that
was popular, associating it with Nazi Volks art. Adorno
particularly abhored popular culture.
