Kind of music popular with children? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kind of music' is the definition.

'popular with children?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'popular' could be 'in' ('in' can mean trendy) and 'in' is located in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swing that I've seen before include "1930s' big band dance music - playground feature" , "throw a punch" , "Sweeping blow or stroke" , "coming and going" , "Jaunty rhythm in music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
