Etymology

The term 'vulgarian' originates from the Latin word 'vulgaris', which means 'common' or 'of the crowd'. It entered the English language in the early 20th century, signifying a person who adopts a style or behavior that is considered lacking in sophistication or good taste. The association with coarseness and rudeness points to the societal value placed on refinement and cultured behavior. As the 20th century progressed, the use of 'vulgarian' became more prominent in cultural discussions, especially in contexts where there was a contrast between high culture and lower, more common cultural expressions. The term is often used in art, literature, and social critique to delineate the boundaries between the 'refined' and the 'vulgar' in society.
