ELi5: Why are there child prodigies in classical music, but no rap or rock child prodigies?

Question

Is it simply a matter of labels? Are we socialized into reserving the label of *prodigy* for fields that are traditionally held high regard? Or is classical music actually more complicated than rap and rock music, therefore warranting the use of the word *prodigy* to describe any child that excels in it?

There are some, but less common. Check out guys like Tosin Abasi when he was just out of Berkley, or Chares Berthoud when he was younger. There are probably a lot of other examples.
