    When coding, I usually listen to Indian classical. It can’t have any lyrics, as I get distracted by them.

    When studying (it’s my actual job, I’m a mathematics researcher), I usually prefer white noise, or just a good pair of noise cancelling headphones without anything actually playing on it. Sound of rain works pretty well too.

    silence so I can concentrate else my brain focuses on the music and I get nothing done and end up dancing around to the music

      At least you don’t start sing. I think singing would be the worst. I’m the same BTW, minus dancing. :D Especially good music, my brain is in a different dimension when I listen to good music I can “vibe” with. (Hey don’t judge, this is the first time in my life I used the vibe word appropriate).

    Melodic dubstep when I’m debugging, metalcore when I’m developing new code.

    I can’t do lyrics when I’m working with GDB, and the gutteral screams help me maintain my composure as I quietly swear at the prior maintainers for leaving me with a poor foundation for my new code.

    A lot of prog rock, 70’s rock, and prog metal. I need long winding and pace changing music to keep from stagnating my train of thought for too long. Synthwave and anything Nobuo Uematsu or Yasushi Ishii makes is good too.

    Psytrance or Dubstep. Something without much (or any) lyrics but with a strong bassline, maybe a bit glitchy.

        Interestingly, the music I prefer to listen to is more rocky - Punk/Grunge/Ska/Folk/Dub.

        I acquired my love of psytrance in the early noughties when I used to do henna art at festivals in the UK. We got friendly with a couple who ran a psytrance CD stall, and were very often pitched right next door, so I spent many a weekend doing henna art with their music blasting out of their PA as a backing track. One CD that was popular at the time was Virtual Memory by Alchemy, but I seldom knew who I was listening to - it never seemed to matter. Worked well for getting into “the zone” though, and it’s not distracting because I don’t find myself trying to listen to the (usually non-existent) lyrics.

    There is tuning involved.

    If what i’m working on is repetative and aggrivating, i’ll have anything on, up to and including an audio book.

    If what i’m working on requires modest brain power, stuff that’s calm and ambient.

    If what i’m working on is demanding, dead silence.

    Synthwave is my jam. But, and this is a big Butt, I’m a person who focuses on one job and get distracted too easily. So having any music in the background will distract me. So mute is it then for me.

    These days, I’d usually listen to either a Dungeon Synth playlist (like Mountain Realm, Atrium Carceri, Witch Bolt…) or I’ll listen to my doom/stoner/psych playlist (Mars Red Sky, Colour Haze, Earthless, Kikagaku Mori, Youngblood Supercult…).

    Also, there are a few Diablo Lo-fi mixes made by blizzard that really get me in the mood of writing. Tristram theme Lo-fi is also sick.

    I enjoy non-AI generated music.

    hard to come by after YT took away the ability to filter search results by age.

    luckily I had ripped a bunch of music from YT before AI was a thing.

    mostly around 80s jpop, synth, wave.
