Metal. Anything metal.
But lately I’ve been going through Chevelle, album-by-album. They are one of my all-time favorite bands though, so that helps.
You guys can concentrate?! 🤨
Joking aside though, I find it more difficult to concentrate with music on, unless the task is something that grabs my focus anyway. I’m waiting on a diagnosis, but it feels like it’s either the autistic side not liking the distraction, or the ADHD side focusing on the wrong thing 😫
What kind of music it is definitely makes a difference for me. Sometimes if I need to focus really hard, I have to turn on something instrumental otherwise I’ll get distracted by the lyrics/singing along in my head.
To this day I still use the classic LoFi Girl channel.

My curated playlist of entirely “nerdcore”, which is music inspired by (but not directly from), anime and video games.
I usually just play a game OST.
sim city 3000 mmmmmmmmmmm
Not music, but I really like coffee shop noises if I’m struggling to focus up. Random barista sounds, indiscernible chatter, light but pleasant clinking of spoons and cups. There are YouTube & podcast channels that have like 8 hours solid.
Aye, I have playlists for all kinds of concentration related things. If I’m writing, I put on ambient music that fits with the tone and doesn’t have singers who sing with words.
If I’m just drawing, I can listen to literally any genre of music, but it had to be appropriate for the vibe I’m trying to catch.
These playlists are only for longer projects with a bigger investment.
If it’s shorter projects or projects at work that only takes me a few days or weeks to complete I tend to put on videos of people talking. The topics and formats don’t really matter. I put on whatever interests me at the moment.
Currently I’m in a phase where I just need some dumb shit while I’m working and I’m therefore deep in some youtube drama that most people don’t care about, but I find to be very very entertaining, even though it’s pretty fucked up.
Got any links to the playlists?
Any links to the YouTube drama?
I play either the Deus Ex UNATCO Theme Extended or the extended map theme from Mass Effect on repeat
Edit to add that after 15 or 20 minutes I’m zoned in and forget the music is playing
I loop random video game songs from my youth

My work usually means I can’t listen to anything while I’m working (lots of meetings and video calls), but when I need to just head down get something done I listen to this lo fi beats playlist my wife made. It’s also great for reading while in a plane.
Not playlists, but lately it’s this Chillhop Compilation and the Love EP by GRNBX
Listening to chill hop now. Very good!
Goofy Nintendo music. Love the whimsy.
But lately my brain has switched to working better while listening to podcasts, so I’ve been working through a bunch of radio plays. I’m currently on Video Palace, while also going through The White Vault with a friend. I think Unwell is next and then Alice Isn’t Dead, maybe.
This has been my go-to for a few years now. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ooEDlaniAIkMeBVQCBilG?pi=342V-Q1KRViCF
