I could see a milder claim of universality that isn't on your list-- a claim that a large majority of people over an extended period of time like (or perhaps love) the music which is claimed to be universal.

It's amusing to see claims that some types of music (usually classical) are wonderful because they're universal, but also that people these days need to learn to like them.
