I am trying to think of the word to describe someone who does not appreciate arts, music, or whatnot. This is really bugging me, so any help would be appreciated.

The word I'm thinking of is a noun, not an adjective.

If it helps anyone, I remember coming across this word in a Calvin and Hobbes strip, where Calvin was lamenting that nobody liked his snowman art.

philistine....a person who is lacking in or hostile or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc., or is contentedly commonplace in ideas and tastes.

I skimmed through 3 of my books (psycho jungle cat, days are just packed, indispensable treasury), and the best I can come up with is "crass culture". Good luck.

EDIT: and "lowbrow".
