There are several different definitions about exactly what a culture is. Thing is that since cultures are so diverse that there's really no one umbrella definition to put them all under. Most anthropologists agree that it can largely be defined as a group of people that share a set of values and/or norms and/or rituals and/or practices and/or live geographically close relative to each other (after the rise of web 2.0 culture that last one has been heavily contested).
As a n anecdote, because cultures are too diverse to define with one definitions, anthropologists no longer look for one definition, but define them all as different. To get a more coherent answer, you should ask about a specific culture.

How might sociologists define high culture low culture and popular culture?
Popular culture is and has always been a hybrid form of high and low culture. High culture makes its way into the "low culture" if it has appealed to the mass population. It then becomes low culture because suddenly it is commercialized and thus deemed part of low culture--one that has the appearance of being an obsequious attempt to connect to the "regular folk". No one markets cultural/creative/artistic phenomena to the masses when it is not accessible to the "low minds" because there is no money involved in it. So it dies like a twister in an open field. However, if we look carefully, we can see that even gypsy music and culture from Spain, once deemed as low and filthy and was threatened to the point of extinction, started to become an easily identifiable symbol of the dominating culture as more and more people began to align themselves with exploring their culture. On the other hand, Shakespeare was once deemed as low culture, and is now considered the epitome of high culture in Literature
