There is definitely exceptions. Though guitar instrumentals don't do it for me, even though I generally listen to the rock/metal genre.

But for example I really like violin covers by this one artist/youtuber of movie and game soundtracks (especially the Zelda games). But that's some of the only instrumental music I listen to and only when I'm in a specific mood.

And even there I think nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting for me enjoying the songs.

What about some post rock? I find it very nice relaxing music and being without lyrics is also part of that. Bands like God Is an Astronaut, Explosions in the Sky, Mono, Mogwai, etc. Even Sigur Ros which technically include singing, but it's just gibberish to have "another instrument".

I'll save this comment, because I'm not going to check those suggestions out right now.

Maybe in a few weeks you'll get a random reply to this comment. I've done it before, but no promise.

Sure, no problem. I discovered the genre at uni and it really helped me to focus on studying. It's probably not for everyone (what is), but I really got into it. Love the soundscapes people are making there. Close the eyes and let your mind go...
