Difference between Low-brow and Low-browed

low-brow

1. (of people) not highly intellectual or aesthetically refined:

  • Their desired crowd is not unlike themselves, being low-brow people who want to see a rock band that plays loud, fast and powerful.

2. (of things) unsophisticated and not requiring intellectual effort to be understood:

  • I play video games, read lowbrow books and tons of comics.

low-browed

1. (of a building, doorway, etc.) having a low entrance:

  • In the face of this rock there appeared something like the entrance of a low-browed cavern.

2. = low-brow 1.:

  • The media must think the American public is a bunch of lowbrowed morons who “rush to the mall” and buy whatever is placed in front of them.
