Do you like to have music while coding/studying? If so, what genres? (tidal.com)

Ok, I start: I like synthwave, synthpop and sovietwave. And it’s not as much a question of focus as the fact music energized me, so lyrics are also ok and even welcome and I don’t get distracted at all.

My go-to's, with no real rhyme or reason..

Nightride FM - Chillsynth Venice Classical Radio Lofi 24/7 Soma.fm Groove Salad and Drone Zone

Normally no because music distracts me, but sometimes I want to feel a bit more chilled out so I put my entire music library on shuffle and just skip songs I don't want to listen to. So ends up with all sorts of genres.

I mostly listen to videogame soundtracks with no lyrics, or various electronica (also no lyrics). https://rainwave.cc/ocremix/ if I'm not feeling anything in particular

soma.fm always has great DJs and streams. Definitely a go to for flow state.

Groove Salad for me. Unless I'm updating production severs then I put on Drone Zone to lower my heart rate.

When coding, I usually listen to Indian classical. It can't have any lyrics, as I get distracted by them.

When studying (it's my actual job, I'm a mathematics researcher), I usually prefer white noise, or just a good pair of noise cancelling headphones without anything actually playing on it. Sound of rain works pretty well too.

A lot of prog rock, 70's rock, and prog metal. I need long winding and pace changing music to keep from stagnating my train of thought for too long. Synthwave and anything Nobuo Uematsu or Yasushi Ishii makes is good too.

Either metal/Tidal or bicycling on GCN.

Melodic dubstep when I'm debugging, metalcore when I'm developing new code.

I can't do lyrics when I'm working with GDB, and the gutteral screams help me maintain my composure as I quietly swear at the prior maintainers for leaving me with a poor foundation for my new code.

Then you find out you were the prior maintainer...

Sometimes while studying. I have studied in a library but when I don't have a music player I can't keep at it for very long unless im studying in a group. For long sessions I need something.

I tend to go for House, DnB, or Electro Swing when coding. Something upbeat and with a steady rhythm.
