Dumbing down

Nowadays, it's not uncommon to hear somebody railing against 'dumbing down', often of kids TV (everyone thinks the incarnation of Blue Peter from when they were a child is the best). However, I've found an exception ot the trend; the music that kids listen to. For instance, in the traditional children's song, 'Old King Cole', Old King Cole (in one of the later verses) calls for his pipe and he calls for his bowl and he calls for his fluters 3. Fluters! The term for people who play the flute is flautists. On the other hand, the kind of music that children listen to today, such as the Kaiser Chiefs exposes them to words like "Lairy", meaning (from wiktionary.org):
"Adjective
(Australian) vulgar and flashy
(English) aggressive, confrontational "
So, I think we can conclude that the future generation's intellectual development is not being stunted by the music they listen to.
