    Among other things, instrumental psychodelic rock like God is an Astronaut, or most recently TFNRSH.

      Anywhere from AC/DC to pipe organ music.

      Depends on what my ADHD brain wants at any given moment.

        studying: classical is best, instrumental good, something in a language I don't know acceptable

        working, my actual job: something I can dance to: classic country, bluegrass, pop, hip hop, swing, salsa, cha-cha, big band

        working, chores at home: something I can sing along with: folk ballads, power ballads, sea shanties, 90's hits, aughts hits, emo, any flavor of punk, singer-songwriter anthems, protest music, hyperpop, hip hop

        working, on a computer: deathmetal, speed metal, power metal, alt-pop, doo-wop, hip hop, and while not technically music also standup comedy bits

            My favorite:
            https://ambientsleepingpill.com/

            Supports, rather than distracts, my thoughts.

            Slightly more varied:
            https://ambientmodern.com/

            Peppier still:
            https://amambient.com/

            Streaming links are provided in menu.
            Spotify links are there as well.

              Usually death metal, but sometimes I mix it up with something random

                    For studying, instrumental music or at least music with lyrics I don't understand. My go-to is my own curated playlist of film/movie soundtracks.

                    For working, anything goes. I have a variety of playlists like metal, prog rock, fusion, acid jazz, kpop, j pop/rock, etc.

                        I need it to not be distracting, so no vocals in a language I comprehend, or I need to have listened to the song a dozen times already.

                        And then I need something upbeat to keep me motivated, so 8-bit music is high up the list, overly epic orchestral music also always works, but at like 3 o'clock in the morning, nothing hits like instrumental classical music.

                              Chillout ambient. Basically, the Mass Effect 1 soundtrack affected my whole musical library. I ask myself -- would this music sound cool in a bar in Mass Effect? If the answer is yes, it's probably on theme.

                              Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Gardens

                              Solar Fields - Leaving Home

                              2814 - Rain Temple

                              Cell - Hanging Masses

                              etc.

                              To the point were I created [email protected]

                                I like putting on DJ sets at work. Book Club Radio has some absolute bangers. Pretty much any one from Tinzo or Jojo are good.

                                Hor has some good DJs on. I love Tigerhead. Some of the Bogota ones were great.

                                Boiler room also has some good ones. The one from Rebecca Black was actually really good.
