High school kids may almost universally reject good music that doesn't fit inside their peer designed boxes but the stuff the do herald usually has merit. Plus, with so many kids finding music on YouTube their tastes are often more exotic than you might think.
That's kind of my point though: the majority of high school students will grow up to be that typical person with locked in garbage taste as opposed to slightly fluid socially driven tastes. Obvious exceptions and all that, but I'd rather take musical advice from an older basic bitch because, as has been mentioned before, they've had time to strip away the fads and garbage, while younger listeners can't separate the two as easily. But you do have a good point with the internet, I guess I'm thinking of this pretty traditionally.
