Have you heard the terms “high brow” and “low brow” before?
High brow being something elitist and cultured and low brow (a negative term for popular culture) being something very casual and possibly tacky.
Make a list of things you like yourself or things (events, hobbies, etc) which a character likes. Choose which are high brow and which are low brow. A character with a lot of high brow activities isn’t likely to have a low brow personality. Also, making a list like this gives your character a chance to evolve and be more than words on a page. Introduce some new pop culture or unique event to your readers. Make your story memorable by showing them a whole new world.
