What music do you like to listen to when studying / working?

[bootloop@sh.itjust.works]

Video game and movie soundtracks. Ambient electronic and IDM. Trance and Psychedelic Trance. All without vocals. It helps me focus on work.

Yeah, me too now.

Surprised nobody posted this yet.

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

[jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works]

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:

Supports, rather than distracts, my thoughts.

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

And if you were to search this up, what would you type?

[bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de]

lofi hip hop on YouTube.

[scytale@piefed.zip]

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.

[stovetop@lemmy.world]

Lofi beats to study to

[ephera@lemmy.ml]

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.

[interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Any of mayv's mixes https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKz7MQ6y9w-K456AwrcUa_geIewSGOqF- or a four hour playlist I made of the same sort of genre

[daze@sh.itjust.works]

Any / all Gran Turismo soundtracks

[troyunrau@lemmy.ca]

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.

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.

[jayjleas@lemmy.world]

I have an instrumental playlist for this because lyrics distract me.

[enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Age of Empires II soundtrack
