A first in almost 10 years of my Apple Music subscription...

Yep, that will work. I had noticed that Apple Music had started to suggest County music which is not my personal taste. It appears that some of the artists that I do like, have started to do some crossover Country music, so it kind of altered the algorithm. I started disliking those specific songs from the Artist that I listen to and then some of the suggested songs that it started playing thinking I would like those too, but eventually it learned.

See Tell Apple Music on Mac what you like - Apple Support. You should be able to Dislike or Suggest Less.
