No, I have no idea why my kids are all into Rock and Roll, Rap and Electronic music now. Damn kids these days.

Am I crazy or are the comments in this thread all about different ages? Well, I'll defend the existence of children's music.

Children's music is great for teaching young children (under the age of 2) the basics of music. A clear melody (often in C major), simple rhythm, some basic song structure, rhyming lyrics, and lots and lots of repetition gets children listening and singing at an age before they can form coherent sentences. These are skills they learn to encourage not just later composition and performance of music, but also basic human functions like speaking and listening.

They're doing it with their books, their TV shows, and their games, too. Developmentally appropriate material is important for learning that category of art or culture, and provides a basis to build on after that.
