Thanks for your question!

Considering the ruling about knock-off movies, books, and TV shows was mostly made for the sake of avoiding fourth-walling unless both parties agree, music should be alright. Since the cases of people applying from non-musical songs is pretty rare, I would say that characters can find music from home or other realities, worlds, etc. quite easily.

The only exception would be if the song or album contained a character complete and well-developed enough be apped (again, not common unless it is in a musical like Hamilton) or if the band members were fictional and could be applied for (in situations like Gorillaz or other similar bands).

Let me know if you have any other questions!
