I used to work at Loweβs, so it was either football announcers or their Worst Pop of 2002 mix tape. One time the music went out, and I was meeting with customers, I played some jazz from my phone and that was nice. Got fired that afternoon, but not for the jazz I donβt think. Timing was a little suspect though.
Haha that would have been crazy indeed, me on the either hand would have hired a person if they mentioned they liked jazz π
What if they said they liked jazz, then you hired them, then they revealed their understanding of βjazzβ was messed up.
I prefer old-school trance, mostly, but anything high-energy and instrumental works. I've been known to use the Mario Kart soundtrack now and then. The important part is that either there are no lyrics, or the lyrics are in a language I've never attempted to learn.
Okay this is a cheat code I will share with you. When coding I listen to 3blue1brown music.. If you have been watching that guy you will notice feeling like a fucking genius solving problems all the time :)
Can u paste the link
I just used Spotify. But here's one song. The artist is called Vincent Rubinetti

Whatever's been stuck in my head if I've got very little to do and the lyrics won't distract me. Piano and softer instrumentals when I want music but am also working on something. Podcasts when doing mindless data shuffling or cleaning. Rainy Mood when studying.
And Megalovania if I need to work on a time sensitive priority 1 fix/task.

Nothing. I have this weird thing where I can't listen to music and do my work at the same time. Listening to music is an active experience for me, I have to focus my whole attention on it and enjoy it. Putting music on as background noise doesn't work, it gets super irritating because I can't focus on my work or on the music.
The other issue is that the instant I put my headphones on at work to listen to music, someone comes to my desk to talk to me, without exception. And I hate talking to people, so I avoid wearing headphones at work these days.
'old on, Gov. Some of us are quite simple creatures what can't walk and chew gum at the same time. I can't listen to any music if I'm working, writing, or doing anything that requires concentration. Music is such a whole encompassing experience, I have to give my full attention to it and it totally detracts me from whatever else I'm doing.
with all the meetings and such I don't bother.

Mostly just 2 hours instrumental playlists off YouTube from places like Epic Music Empire or PandoraJourney. Usually like movie trailer music. It's good for when you need hard heavy background noise to keep you focused but without lyrics so I don't get distracted.
