I wouldn't say music particularly matters either, at least not till kids are older. Among older (maybe 4th/5th grade, middle school, etc) kids, there is actually a subset of kids to whom Piano Guys are very much a thing. No one would listen to the classical music station or anything, but definitely a step up from Lady Gaga-type.

I don't cite this list as a cultural imperative for social blending, just as an example of a varied list that builds a lifelong appreciation of music. (Though I'm glad to hear that piano Guys have a following with young children!)

What is to give light must endure burning.
