Abstract in brief
- The study classifies cultural omnivores based on their consumption of music and visual arts, and finds they have a distinctive social and political profile.
- Cultural omnivores are generally more trusting, risk-taking, supportive of the EU, politically engaged, but not more focused on class or traditional left-right issues.
- Their sense of identity is less tied to status markers like profession or education, and they tend to be more extraverted and open to new experiences, reflecting a cosmopolitan postmaterialist attitude rather than a new social distinction.]
