Elite Culture

Elite culture refers to the shared values, tastes, and practices of society’s influential upper or privileged groups. It often shapes trends in art, fashion, education, and lifestyle, reflecting their interests and perspectives. While it can set standards of excellence and innovation, it may also create divisions by emphasizing exclusivity. Essentially, elite culture influences broader societal norms through its leaders and tastemakers, acting as a lens through which social, cultural, and intellectual developments are amplified or valued within a particular class or elite community.
