Influencing is not necessarily pushing. If you try and force a child to like something, a natural response is for them to rebel and do their own thing. However, what you listen to may influence their tastes as they assimilate certain likes and dislikes. You may not be pushing anything forcefully, but you are certainly exposing them to something that they may not have ever listened to on their own and may learn to like as a result.
