In hs I was not aware of any "stigma"...but period movie pieces of the 60's and 70's do depict band kids in a different fashion - but no mor disparagingly than the "jocks" or "heads" of the same era. It MAY be that your kids are simply more aware of it (we call that 'external-referenting' in psycho-babble talk.)

Wanna "save" them? Cancel the cable tv for starters, it'll dry up a bit of the consumer cues they're contantly barraged with and sound so willing to follow - and since its unlikely you'd be willing to kill the tv altogether, you could still get local network and (especially) PBS.

Do they even WANT to play in band?
