What do you listen to while programming/working

My discovery

During college I discovered that listening to music which has lyrics completely throws off my jam and makes it hard for me to focus.

Yes I learned this the hard way

For moments when I need to focus really well I tend to listen to Jazz, Lofi, Classical, Acoustic, or basically anything instrumental.

There was this really obscure college radio station in Miami that I used to stream that used to be good for concentrating but the DJs graduated and now I don't anymore.

Mostly Spotify playlists made up of songs without lyrics. I think Mellow Beats is one that I enjoy a lot.
Also can’t go wrong with lofi hip hop

Yeah I do the same. But I've also created personal work productivity songs made up of a mixture of my favorite songs without lyrics.
