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?

    Anything without lyrics. Same as others have said: synthwave and similar are great. Game soundtracks. Orchestra albums. Some metal.

    Movie soundtracks are a another great resource for lyric-free music that haven’t been mentioned much yet.
