Marvel and its universe are a franchise, they not even in the open domain for RT to be able to use them in their own universe.

Music on the other side, there is evidence that music in the world of Remnant has evolved following a similar history to that in our world. The most painfully obvious example of this is the fact that Flynt has a trumpet.

Cultural movements are not private franchises, similar cultural movements can arise in different societies if they go through similar events, whereas private franchises are individual creations. One thing would it be for RT to have Hulk show up in RWBY and another completely different to show there are superhero comic books (which they have shown). A franchise similar to Marvel might exists in Remnant, just like there might be a music style similar to funky but Marvel or the same individual musicians are not going to be there.

There is a reason why Jaune mentions a Spruce Willis not Bruce Willis.
