Personally work in IT, mostly fixing server and infrastructure. Big fan of listening to ambiance music while working: the kind of music and sounds that make you forget that you’re listening to it, to me, that’s the perfect kind of working music. Otherwise I will listen to game and movie soundtracks from Lotr, Star Wars, Ghilbi, Harry Potter etc… I used to be all into lofi, but need a break from it now.
Anyways, please share your favorite music to listen to while working, and let us know what you work as too! More fun to see how the profession match with music taste.
Have a nice rest of your day 🌻
About 90 seconds of alt rock, then someone will get my attention to ask a question, I’ll take my headphones off, then sit for three hours with them on my neck until I remember to put them on again.
If I need to do any thinking at all - complete silence
If I do not need to do any thinking - edutainment podcasts, mostly space stuff (Universe Today, Astronomy Cast, etc.)Lots of synthwave and electronica. But mostly without lyrics (I hesitate to say instrumental, since y’know, it’s all electronic). I’m a software developer, and I find words too distracting.
I have a hard time listening to that music when I’m not working, since it tends to be painfully repetitive.
I like listening to lofi.
Software Engineer here. I listen to a lot of Explosions In The Sky to work.

I think Spotify called it “indie electro hacker Thursday”.
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.

Metal. Mostly death metal, melodeath and deathcore.
Gotta be loud, fast and angry. Gotta get shit done, can’t be listening to anything relaxing.
I used to work at Lowe’s, 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 don’t 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 😅
What if they said they liked jazz, then you hired them, then they revealed their understanding of “jazz” was messed up.
'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.
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
