What kind of music do you listen to?

[seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Trance/sextrance, scenecore and weird underground soundcloud rap

[qaz@lemmy.world]

That looks really interesting, thanks for sharing

[db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Hah that was in my listenbrainz recommendations

[mrkite@programming.dev]

I'm a fan of japanese indie like Gesu No Kiwami Otome.

[kissaki@programming.dev]

I feel like it's very varied, but I'm not one to listen to metal or much rock. What I listen to changes from time to time.

I know the meme/prejudice of programmers listening to metal, and having long hair. I can't say I've ever felt like it was confirmed or justified. But it's not like I have that much exposure or insight to many either.

I'm not even sure I can list genres; I feel like it'd be too many and unspecific anyway. Chillhop, chillsynth, hip-hop, deep house, some pop, some german and japanese music, some chiptune, some classics of the last century; some are shared on https://soundcloud.com/kissaki

[mrwafflesnbacon@lemmy.world]

The Rippingtons, various mod trackers and some other things.

[vfsh@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Pretty much anything EDM and a lot of hip-hop/rap. Some 90-2000s rock tossed in too

[lambda@programming.dev]

Rap mostly.

When programming however, Chill Lofi HipHop beats to study/relax to. Words distract.

[ephera@lemmy.ml]

I need something without understandable lyrics (unless I've listened to that song many times before) and something that pumps me up, but doesn't cause headaches. So, 8-bit music and cheesy / 'epic' cinematic scores work well.

Well, unless it's 4 o'clock in the morning. Then nothing beats classical music. I'm never as productive as I am at 4 AM, listening to Beethoven and friends.

[helixdab2@lemm.ee]

Progressive metal & related genres (currently listening to the newest Eidola album on repeat, and some Dance Gavin Dance), and bebop jazz.

But I don't program; I'm mostly cleaning up artwork for commercial printing.

[exu@feditown.com]

I mostly listen to powermetal, symphonic metal and some rock. But I'm no programmer, I'm a sysadmin.

[rwdf@lemmy.world]

Either https://musicforprogramming.net/ , some vaporwave, some really extreme/cavernous death metal or noise rock. Free jazz. Possibly some instrumental kraut rock if I feel like it, the motorik beat is great for focus.

[state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de]

I listen to everything. My main jam is melancholic singer-songwriter stuff or songs that tell stories, but I also listen to electronic, metal, folk, world music, whatever I enjoy. Last year my most-played stuff was Nothing Else Matters from the Wednesday soundtrack (0.01%), Sabaton (0.1%) and Japanese enka songs. The year before it was German singer-songwriter Anna Depenbusch, who I had just discovered.

[andioop@programming.dev]

I usually don't, which is completely sacrilegious as a musician, but I'd rather be playing it myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I do bother, it is usually Broadway (have not seen that here yet!), the pop music of my childhood, classical, classic rock, or anything I have ever played before. Around Christmastime I have a dedicated Christmas playlist which is just Christmas songs.

[gerryflap@feddit.nl]

Hardstyle, (Electronic) Hardcore, DnB, Trance. Don't really mind metal etc either, but I generally don't listen to it myself. Most pop music bores me because it's too slow. I need speed and intensity but I don't really mind repetition.

[sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Mainly black and old school death metal. Also some ambient and contemporary classical.

[ethancedwards8@programming.dev]

Polyphia typically

[syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de]

Yeah, same. Post-metal or thereabouts towards jazz can work too IME. Stuff like Russian Circles, Earthless, Elephant9. But stuff like Waveshaper and Amynedd are often safer bets.

[josie@vegantheoryclub.org]

Mostly golden age hip hop, metal and its various subgenres (heavy metal, doom metal, death metal etc), classic rock, indie, post-hardcore, and pop-punk

[psythik@lemmy.world]

I'm an open format DJ, so I listen to everything except Hick Hop, and that annoying sub-genre of electronic music that consists of little more than someone repeating the same word or phrase over a simple drum beat. Have no idea what it's called, but kids under 30 seem to love it and I just don't understand why.
