Chances are your profile is already full of recommendations, even if you haven't used the new sites before. Every video that you have searched for or watched with your account is being used to calculate what music you would like to listen to, because YouTube Music shares a library and a history with the main app.
We don't want to affect our recommendations or Your Supermix, but we do want to make sure that Disney songs are not included. Here is how to clear out the noise and improve your music offerings.
Hit that thumbs up to the right of the song title.
Don't just skip past songs you don't like; thumb them down so they leave and don't come back. It takes more time than just saying "I don't like this song" if you're listening with the screen off. After listening to a song in your music history, you can thumb it up or down. To thumb a song up or down, you have to click the three-dot menu on each song.
If you keep getting recommendations from an artist you hate, then you should give feedback to YouTube Music to prevent other songs from popping up.
If you like songs that pop up in your recommendations, add them to your library. It will make sure you get more music like that and less like the songs you listen to.

Cleaning up one helps you clean up the other. Not all YouTube history appears in YouTube Music, and not all YouTube Music history appears in YouTube, which means that even if you dislike a song on a Discover Mix, it can still affect your recommendations. If you want to stop this, you need to clean or clear your YouTube history at least once.
You can either go to the desktop version of the site or the app on the phone, but you will need to go a few different places.
Deleting your watch and search history will make it harder for you to get recommended artists to listen to, as they will only have your library, your rated songs, and your liked artists to choose from.
pausing your YouTube or YouTube Music history is a setting to be very, very aware of. It is a great way to keep yourself from having to purge your history.
If you know you are about to listen to music that you don't want impacting your recommendations, you should pause your history and un-pause it when you are done. If you are going to use YouTube Music to provide the music at a party and know your partner's old college cohort is going to request dusty, old country songs every 20 minutes, that would be an excellent time to hit pause. Here is how.
Pause search and watch history at the same time.

Make sure that you come back to the same screen at the end of the event to unpause it so that your history doesn't stay frozen in time.

If you have a lot of history with the site, it will be able to learn more about you. Not to mention, the more music you listen to, the more likely you are to find music that you didn't know existed, or albums that you didn't know had been released.
Let it know you by listening to YouTube Music.
