I’m in my 40s, and Brocolli (and all other cruciferous brassica) still smells and tastes like farts to me. It smells/tastes less like farts than it used to, but the overall flavour is still farts. My partner doesn’t smell/taste it the same as I do, so we eat it quite often.
As an adult, I just accept that “sometimes, part of my dinner will taste of farts” and move on with life.
As someone else mentioned, many people taste all the foulness and bitterness in these things when they’re younger, but as their taste buds age/deteriorate/mature, the foul/bitter flavour can’t be detected any more. In other people, they could never taste it, and in others they will always taste it.
In my case, I look at how much I enjoy the taste of blue cheese or beer, compared to how “yucky” they were when trying them as a child.
I wasn’t keen on the taste of wine, whisky etc as a child, but I definitely grew to like them. When I was much younger, I drank whisky with coke - now I’d drink it straight, or with a little water. It is better quality whisky, to be fair, but I know my tastes have also changed in that regard.
My tastes did adjust to non-brassica green veg - which I also didn’t like as a child, but I’m stuck with crucifer-fart-flavour and red-onion-makes-my-eyes-and-mouth-burn, probably for life.

I don’t seem to grow out of these. Weirdly, I do like the taste of high-proof liquor; I wonder if I’d also dislike that if I’d tasted it as a kid.
