What kind of music do you listen to? (self.programming)

IRL, I once listed my favorite bands across metal, rock, hip-hop, electronic, and drum n bass and was hit with "that's standard programmer music".

As someone with little physical human contact outside of work and actually meeting devs outside to find out they listen to the same music was a little surprising. That was a tiny sample though and this is the web though and people are from all over, what kind of stuff do you listen to? Favorite genres, artists, or just "everything" even noise?

I code in silence.

But when I listen to music I REEEEAALLYYYYY L I S T E N. Stuff like Tool, Coin Locker Kid, Kaoru Abe - and I find it impossible to concentrate on code while those play, they mentally drag me in.

Same. I can't even have understandable lyrics if I'm going to concentrate.

My work playlists are completely different. More cinematic scores, world music, ambient whatever. There is some metal that bridges the gap, but it has to be very death.

I've started listening to stuff like Babymetal because it's in Japanese and my brain doesn't get distracted by words in a foreign language.

I have some Japanese metal bands in the rotation for just this reason. Metal works in a lot of languages, actually.
