We exposed our child the music we liked in as many genres as possible so the kid skipped the toddler music phase with the exception of some classic children songs but in a heavy metal cover which he adored. One thing I feared becoming a parent was to sit through endless repeats of baby sharks etc, not something my brain can handle but we got spares. On long car drives he now asks for AdP as well as King Grizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

The toddler I'm taking care of sometimes already came with a pre-installed musical taste. Unfortunately a lot of Disney and Musical stuff. We usually agree on a mixed playlist - some of his, some of mine. Not a problem, they have the right to their own taste, even if it's crap! I remember my dad being a bit of a muscial guide, but also something of a 'music police' when I was a kid, and as a result I did develop a large and interesting musical taste but also became socially awkward and missed the entire development of electronic music ... And I secretly like the veeery long song with the small red tractor feeding all the animals, it's kind of catchy - the new Schnappi even, who knows!

My own child, already grown(ish), who was exposed to pretty much the entire musical spectrum is now into electronic stuff. He has a little box full of buttons he presses to produce peculiar loops and sounds, anything from 5-dimensional farting to voices of anatomically correct angels. It was a gift from his former 'electronic music is of the devil' grandpa, hehe.
