Habermas and Adorno located cultural catastrophe in different places entirely.

Evidence

For Habermas, categories such as `bourgeois science’ never existed, and the established sciences merely showed useful or less useful aspects. The extent to which the text was his own, and the extent of his determination to go his own way, were shown by the central role he gave to the critique of the social neutralization and self-neutralization of science. This was a problem that was largely foreign to Adorno, for whom the neutralization of cultureculture in the sense of art and speculative thoughtwas the decisive catastrophe. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 575
