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.

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…

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.

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

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

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.

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

Either metal/Tidal or bicycling on GCN.

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.
