Tool definitely takes the edge off. If it's been a rough day... Massage chair and vibing to tool, all of their songs. It doesn't suddenly bring a smile to my face but it definitely smooths the rough edges, if that makes sense.

Pumpkin and JPOD. Both are DJs. Listen to their fill DJ sets, like on sound cloud, etc.
I like the synthwave playlists on streaming services. Keeps me in the zone while reading scifi and lifts my mood when I'm not reading
Beware - Death Grips
I could put together a list of instrumental house music that I find uplifting, but not sure if that's the sort of thing you want?
If they are good, please share them too
Actually, I’m a musicologist from Leipzig (Germany) the town “Where Music Was Invented”, and I’ve been studying this hypothesis for the last 45 years. Alas, I could neither proof it right nor wrong, so that’s 45 years of effort down the drain, I didn’t get tenure as a result, and I now have to fill the regale at Aldi to make ends meet. It’s quite fucking frustrating. As you can well imagine, I hardly listen to music these days, so I can’t provide you with an answer, sorry.
If it was neither right or wrong, does it mean there are subcategories or other factors that are affecting it?
