Roll over Raffi. A new wave of kids music is moving into stores and on TV. Much of it is made, marketed, and consumed by a generation of musicheads raised on punk, funk, world beat, and hip-hop who are unwilling to feed their offspring the aural equivalent of fast food. Some is epicurean, niche music for status-conscious consumers looking to raise discriminating rugrats. Some are simply melodic tunes with modern beats that are finding their way into millions of homes thanks to forward-thinking TV programmers.

The article goes on to talk to Laurie Berkner, They Might Be Giants, and Evan Lurie (The Backyardigans) and highlights shows such as The Wonder Pets.
