Well....I don't know....I think it is totally a mater
of exposure! My daughters friends all listen to
radio. I can say that 99.9 % of her friends parents
are not "well versed" in thehistory of all musical
styles and they were all probably raised on mainstream
radio so there kids only hear what they themselves are
primarily exposed to. My 8 year old not only hears a
ton or "power pop", "rock and roll" "rockabilly" "pop"
"Jazz" "Fusion" "Blues" "Classical" "Opera"
"Showtunes" etc etc at home...she is also exposed to
whatever her classmates hear on the radio as well.
She hasn't folded to peer pressure in the the least.
She honestly does not "get" rap...and hse honestly
does not feel that it has any elements of what she
really likes in music ...that is Melody and Harmony!
She has a good ear!
