    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.

                              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.

                                          oh the 1998-2000 Age of Empires OSTs are literally just MIDI with default instrument which gives its own vibe. Age of Empires 3 got real orchestra.

                                          But that particular song you sent reminds me a lot to Battlefield 1 OST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXkw6YTaJpM

                                          This one isn't similar but feels epic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8rPqVCjG8A
