Consider:
Crosshair and his Elite Squad in their ship heading back from a mission.
Crosshair is always in charge of the aux:
CRAAAWLING IIIIN MY SKIIIIN!!!
“Sir, could we change the mus-“
Crosshair turns the volume up.
The next song comes on. It’s Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
Crosshair is mouthing the lyrics under his helmet. The stormtroopers wonder if this job was just one of the circles of Hell.

do any of the adoption kids dance? what's their taste in music? also is there a story behind the splash on iskra's right forehead temple?
OMG i have so many silly little thoughts about postcanon Cardassian youth music
I love my post-WWII cultural timeline for cardassia, which puts 20 years post-Fire sort of in the mainstream jazz/swing era. Out from the dignified waltzing of Garak's youth and into furtive lindy hopping in basements and bombed-out factories after government curfew.
Iskra definitely sneaks out to go to parties with the rest of the disillusioned youth of Prime. Garak knows. She knows he knows. He desperately yearns for a Cardassia filled with dancing and music and so he will condone youthful rule-breaking.
Mels suggested Romulan pop (rpop you might say) becoming a chief cardassian cultural import and I think that that's hilarious so I'm claiming it. Garak hates it but it's ubiquitous. Electropop cover of the Anthem of the Cardassian Union. Iskra Idan and Jocasta love it and play it constantly.
Young Elim listens to Terran music that he's picked up from Julian. They do sing-alongs on long drives. It's very sweet because neither of them can sing for shit. Jo listens to Cardassian classics and the occasional classical Vulcan or Andorian piece while she works.
Idan plays the Romulan harp (vulcan harp, but Romulan style [e.g. violin vs fiddle]). The harp itself was a gift from Bashir's parents. He mostly just toodles around on it for fun and appalls his Vulcan classmates with his banjo riffs.
As for Iskra's scar, it's the usual thing you'd see with being a child victim of annihilative mondicide.

cannot stop thinking or talking about how sam reid plays lestat explicitly as a guy who does actually Want to do right by the people he loves and tries over and over again in ways that are, genuinely and in their moment, kind and considerate, but he's so damaged that he can barely get a selfless breath out of his mouth before his fear of abandonment/possessiveness/superiority self-defense mechanism/gruesome temper swings back around and he punishes louis for ever having believed him capable of goodness in the first place
