can anyone please simplify this sentence . i cannt understand the meaning

The serious study of popular culture by intellectuals is regularly credited with having rendered obsolete a once-dominant view that popular culture is inherently inferior to high art. Yet this alteration of attitudes may be somewhat overstated.

Simplified, the passage just says that popular culture (film, rock/pop music,comic books etc) is considered equal (not inferior) to high art/culture (paintings/sculptures, classical music, literature). Does this help?
