What kind of music do you listen to?
-
I listen to DJ sets from DJs of São Paulo mainly (I'm living in São Paulo now), because I like to know the local techno scene. The main genres that I like are Funk (from São Paulo, check out DJ Bonekinha Iraquiana), electro (check out Cashu), techno (check out Kontronatura) and some house (check out DJ Bassan and Delcu)
-
The Tunic OST if I actually need to focus on what I'm writing.
-
I have some Japanese metal bands in the rotation for just this reason. Metal works in a lot of languages, actually.
-
It's probably easier to list what i don't listen to: most country, hip-hop, rap, overly-noisy metal (where you can't really understand what the singer's grunting about), most pop.
Lately i've been listening mostly to Tool, Jinjer, Asian Dub Foundation and Thievery Corporation.
Tomorrow, who knows, maybe Madredeus or Garbage (the old stuff). -

-
Good Kid, Phoneboy, Chappell Roan, Charlie XCX, Andrew Garden, Landon Conrath, Mickey Darling, Kevin Walkman, Troye Sivan, Boygenius
I think those are the main ones. Also "Halloween" by Novo Amor is a banger
-
Stuff like Tycho - Dive for when I really need to focus.
-
Drum and bass and electronic music. Techno if I want to finish something really fast. Lot of stuff without lyrics.
-
Techno, dubstep, various game OST's, some metal, orchestral, and various pop songs my partner turned me on to. Quite a few touhou remixes too.
-
Anything without lyrics. Same as others have said: synthwave and similar are great. Game soundtracks. Orchestra albums. Some metal.
Movie soundtracks are a another great resource for lyric-free music that haven't been mentioned much yet.
-
Trance/sextrance, scenecore and weird underground soundcloud rap
-
That looks really interesting, thanks for sharing
-
Hah that was in my listenbrainz recommendations
-
I'm a fan of japanese indie like Gesu No Kiwami Otome.
-
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
-
The Rippingtons, various mod trackers and some other things.
-
Pretty much anything EDM and a lot of hip-hop/rap. Some 90-2000s rock tossed in too
-
Rap mostly.
When programming however, Chill Lofi HipHop beats to study/relax to. Words distract.
-
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.
