is classical music really better for your brain than pop/modern music? I often see articles explaining its benefits, but I don’t understand how it’s that different from other genres.

I think it depends on the listener and how music moves their soul.
My husband is an old punk rock sk8 boarder kid. from the 70’s. The cadence and thump of the bass are expressed in the sk8er’s jumps, flips and carves. Quite the experience.
Otoh, my son likes screamo. He is a raw, fierce powerful sk8er. His style is expressed in his movements too.
As for me, I prefer bird watching, gardening and soft music.
Melodic, calming.
That loud stuff scares the poor birds and makes my plants wilt.
