No. I'm paraphrasing a comment from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Liberalism_Failed. (A very important book no matter what part of the political spectrum you are on; even if you disagree with the author's opinions. See Obama's quote in the above link.) The author is the kind of conservative who values a family getting together and singing.
Basically, my point is that the attitude of phrases like "unintentionally teaching our children to consume music passively" always forget that the thing we're criticizing had the same criticisms in the past. IE, the whole concept of prerecorded music taught our parents and grandparents to consume music passively.
