How can I tell Apple Music to stop recommending dance music?

I recently switched from Spotify to Apple Music, and for the life of me I can't figure out why Apple Music is constantly showing me Dance music recommendations in my For You section. I definitely didn't tell it I like dance music, and I checked my library (which I brought in from iTunes years ago and from Spotify with Songshift) and I don't even have the dance genre in my library.

I've found guides on tweaking your recommendations but none seem to work anymore in iOS 13 and Catalina.

When I say I've recently switched, I mean I've been using it for about 4-6 months alongside Spotify and have had my personal mixes for a couple months now. Is it normal for it to take so long?

I just get the impression that Apple Music just isn't very smart. In For You, I have Recently Played, Friends Are Listening To, and then Dance right below it. Below that an album recommendation and then Indie. What I don't understand is how they could possibly think dance should be above Indie if I listen to no dance and a lot of indie and hip-hop.

As you play more and more music, For You will recognize what you actually like and will update. You can also tell Siri, "I don't like this song" if a dance song comes up in many playlists. Otherwise, it will go away as you listen to more music that you do like.
