Bourdieu was lucky enough to be born in France where social sciences are respected and funded. Being a big dog, he was granted enough resources to do several enormous studies of patterns of cultural production and consumption and how they correlate with class, economic, and other social issues, and through this was able to tease out cultural groupings in a much more sophisticated manner than are used by the marketers and advertisers.

If you don't have a background in sociology, he might be better read about than read, if you know what I mean, but his writings are nowhere near as jargon-ridden and inaccessible as those of the grand theorists like Derrida and Foucault.
