you must be insane. their tiny brains would explode from trying to comprehend how wrong and awesome and hellish and divine deerhoof is. Panda Panda Panda would give her an annurism

What does not destroy her will make her stronger (assuming it doesn't destroy her). Just think of this as Darwin taking his course. Woah! Think of Darwin singing along to Deerhoof!
*pop*
Damn... I think I just broke my mind.

It's true that due to her age she would not have the vast musical experience, but then again I know many people who are my same age and have no clue about music beyond what is playing on the radio. Limited appreciation of music is not limited to twelve year olds. I don't consider them peers. Not becasue of age, but because of knowledge level. I just think that people may be underselling what she would be willing to listen to.
Let's look at Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Don Caballero. They all make very beautiful music, but is there really an age where you go, "Oh, I get it now." Granted there are albums where their understanding is very specifically tied to life experiences, like Radiohead's "Ok Computer" is a soundtrack for cube life.
I'm surprised the Yeah yeah Yeahs haven't been brough up.
heretic:
i never said it was limited to age, or anything like that. i said age was a factor, simply because she doesn't have the experience, like you said. you proved my point.
Jarne:
I think it was mentioned before, but "The Unicorns" might be a good band. Another possibility would be Ratatat. Since it does not have lyrics most anyone can "understand" them.

That's what I got out of it.
No. No I didn't.
I'm looking at Appreciation and Understanding as two different things.
I said that I didn't think that she would understand "Ok Computer" since she has never worked in a cube farm. I didn't understand it until I worked in a cube farm. I appreciated the album before I understood it. The strangled desperation of the album is evident, but I never had a connection with it before I entered the cube world.
